Are apps the same for iPod as they are for this? I'm f*cking confused already.

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.

I want a computer I have to hold in my hand the entire time I am watching a movie.

I really don't expect the main view to be like the iphone screen view with app icons.
My prediction is that it will have some kind of version of the Mac OS dashboard, and that is where the app icons will be displayed; you'll access them by a single icon click or button click. That brings along the question of what will be displayed in the primary screen view...
I'm unaware of whether more colors/light on a lcd/led screen wear down the batter faster, but I'd have to assume that the normal view would not be a giant desktop image IF it depleted the batter faster.
