iDon't think so...

Shouldn't that read "apple unveils the the itouch for people with big hands"? :) Gawd, it looks ugly! And they said "small is beautiful"? Well, they were right! Looks like a dead duck in the water already to me.

RE:

I am disappointed. Obvious gap in product line for Webcam and proper mobile video skyping on the market. Apple's values changed. They have become wealthier that Microsoft, by becoming Microsoft. They used to give you exactly what you want. Now it is controlled drip-fed technological nudges. Not good enough. They want the iPad to fit in between a Macbook and an iPhone. They should have gone for it with a webcam. Disappointed. It only takes one bad apple...

Seen This Before

This is like the Tablet PC's in the 90's. They had lack luster screens. Didn't sell well, and flopped. What makes Apple they will work this time? Will Handwriting Recognition work this time? This is a dead duck in the market. It didn't work last time - It won't work now.

RE:

In fac where Steve Jobs would like us to believe that it is in between the iPod and iMac in the product line, it actually is in the extension line of the iPod above the 64GB iPod. No Flash, No video Conferencing. Who is the target group for this? Business men aren't going to trust something that has proprietary apps and no options for using other applications that individuals use to suit their personal needs.
If business men won't use it, the slideshow is only a bell/whistle.
In a sentence: THE WORLD IS WAITING FOR MOBILE VIDEO CONFERENCING, but Apple, you failed to deliver what we needed next. Methinks G4 Cube except Apple have the spotlight this time.

This was reviewed briefly by many hands on after show journalists. The main comment was that it was incredibly fast for screen fill and application execution and the touch screen is gorgeous. I think we will have to wait till we can get hands on in an Apple store before we can dismiss this iPad. Reality distortion aside if nothing else this makes a good case for an internet appliance with just their first rendition seen so far. lots of time for more publishers etc to get on board.

Netbook with no keyboard, or giant ipod? I don't want one either way.

Apple have excelled themselves this time. At least with the Iphone and Macs the hardware is capable and useful (even if the marketing is repulsive and the company's attitude over-controlling and oppressive). This is a pointless device which has no advantage over a £200 netbook, other than a touch screen which is really of debatable utility anyway. One word, four letters: FAIL.
