Once you get your head around the iPad as content-viewing device and not content-creation device, the iPad makes sense. Once the newspapers and magazines, and book publishers get on board its popularity will grow. Murdoch has already said viewing newspapers online will not be free.
Well he's the only one that thinks that, BBC news will always be free, and a little more professional compared to the toilet paper Murdoch sells to lowbrow commoners all over the UK as a newspaper

The iPad's biggest problem is the fact it is not running a proper full blown OS, it's too small for some tasks and too big for other tasks. Because it has an Apple badge it will sell. But ultimately instead of an OS X touch tablet I think this is a mistake.....except for them as the Appstore goes Kerchings many millions of times more an hour
