So it's real, as expected..

Anyone else been sad enough to be watching that live?

A big iPhone meets laptop tbh, looks fun to use.

So, glorified iPod touch? Or useful laptop replacement?

Jury is still out I think.

And the anti-DRM guys are already having a pop at it, and they're right.

Just looks like a big version of my iTouch.

But i'm not the biggest Mac fan generally, so i'm biased.

iPad, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing...

Sums it up quite nicely.

The lack of a web cam and muli-tasking in particular mean it's pretty much useless for most people.

I'll hold off judgement until I see the price, but considering my Sony netbook cost £350 and has no restrictions I cant see me getting one.

I keep expecting him to put it to his head and shout "HELLO!??, YES I'M ON MY IPHONE!!!" Just looks like comedy iphone to me but i've never been a follower of the Jobs Cult.

Only thing I would use that for is to read e-books but I don't think the screen is up to it.

I think if I read a book on an iPad for 1 hour straight, I would go blind.

I have a gaming pc, a laptop which usually sits in the lounge, a ps3 in the lounge and an ipod touch. WTF would I want one of these. I just don't see a gap for it.
