Anyone going to stand in line for this thing? Just wondering

I'll buy one.............................for my 70 year old father.
It is a great way for him to learn about this internet thing that he feels left out of.

I tried to teach my mother how to use a PC a few years back.
I said move the mouse pointer here.
She picked up the mouse and pointed it at the monitor.
I still giggle about that.
This is perfect for her too.

I'm happy to play with their iPad to see what all the hype is about.

Honestly, I'd like one to muck about with too, but I can't justify it when I have 2 laptops, a netbook and 2 desktops already. I'd jailbreak it right away out of principle.

Hmmm... I was against this iPad thing and Apple based on principle. I really want something more open.

I've been looking at a few videos though, and I have to admit, I am starting to be drawn under its spell.

I have serious doubts that a wintel or Googlepad solution is going to be as enticing.

I want an iPad like device.....but I guess I'll have to wait until there are other options to compare against.
