iPad = dud
The Apple iPad came out today from Apple and I have to say that it is cool. I do however, feel like there is just no place for this today. It is essentially a larger version of an iPod touch. There isn't much that it can do that you can't already get with a laptop. In today's media world this piece of technology will certainly garner a lot of attention just because it is released through Apple, but I don not see it as a practical computer to have. The screen is just out there begging to be scratched and it is kind of awkward to hold and carry around. Another cool piece of technology that is too ahead of its time. Maybe in 5 years O_o

I agree, the iPad looks cool and I bet it'd be fun to play around with. There just doesn't seem to be any reason for me to own one. I have a laptop and an iPhone, there is nothing that this would be offering to me I think the potential apps that could be specifically designed for it is what we will need to see to gauge it's potential. I agree, we will have to wait and see how this tech tries to form a niche for itself between laptops and the iPhone/iPod Touch.
