the iPad

Apple has put the iPhone on steroids and made it more than just a useful toy by creating the iPad.
At $499 usd its not stupidly priced like a Mac, and Best of all it runs a similar OS to that of a iPhone rather than the dirty old Mac OS. Im lovin it, and I think I will be pre-ordering one. The iPad looks to run a majority of iPhone/iPod touch apps which will not only expand its function as useful device, I would guess a lot of people will be trading in their Laptops for an iPad. So far there are three models, one with just Wi-Fi, and the other with Wi-Fi and 3g, available in 16,32 and 64gb versions. It looks like the GPS is gone, which is a really useful feature to me as I spend a bit of time at sea and the potential to use the iPad as a gps/chartplotter appeals to me. The Accelerometer is present, along with bluetooth. The cpu is 1GHz Apple A4 custom-designed, high-performance, low-power system-on-a-chip... it remains to be seen how this will perform, but all in all it looks good and im guessing will sell due to the pretty damn reasonable price.
