To me, this is all about the money for Apple. They have a cash cow that works in the app store and they're basically exploiting it to create more revenue for their shareholders. When Jobs talked about all the credit cards that will work automatically with the device and all the people that already know how to use it – that solidified it for me.
This device is not "magical". No unicorns were harmed in the making of it. It's just another way to get you to buy shit in the app store. To me, it's an embarrassing beacon that they've kind of called it in on this one and aren't trying to innovate.... just make money on 3rd party software.
I couldn't give 2 shits if the thing was another quarter inch thicker and weighed a little more to accommodate a camera to allow for teleconferencing. I was hoping this would revolutionize the communications sector, but I think Apple now are the victims of their own success. The iPad just further highlights the innovation that the iPhone brought to consumers. It's totally overshadowed everything else the company does.
