Not an Apple hater, but I don't picture myself getting an iPAD..
It looks nice, but its a question of form factor for me.

My Nokia Internet tablet fits in my phone case (clipped to my belt).  It's about the largest device I can fairly easily carry with me.

I'm not about to start carrying a man-purse just for something like this.  ;)

I'm also not a fan of the closed software nature of the device.  I'm not saying it's a bad idea for the audience.  Most of the world is probably OK with filtered software/media and is willing to trade that so they don't have to deal with the tech.

Me, I like dealing with the tech, so I prefer something more open.

It's a neat looking device, and I wish Apple well.  Just not for me...

Persia, you standing in line?  I'm sure you'd be getting the maximum config available for yours..    ;)
