From the Globe and Mail... replacing an iPod with an iPad??
And there, at the head of the reserved line is the Brueckman family, Scott, Julie and their kids Madison, 11 and Jordan, 13. They’ve driven down from St. Jacob’s, Ont., to replace Madison’s stolen iPod with an iPad.
“We thought that’s a nice replacement, for something that went bad, make it something good. So she’s quite excited,” says Scott.
But then Jordan thought an iPad would be a great early graduation present and, well Julie thought the big, one-button device would be perfect in the kitchen for recipes. “I think I might have to get one, because I’m not sure these guys will share because they’re going to love it so much. I can’t wait to use it for cooking.”

Full disclosure: I'm a photographer who owns close to three dozen different cameras; early adoption/gadget obsession is something I am keenly aware of.
I still have not seen anything about <em>any</em> tablet PC that says "I must have this". Looks great, probably feels wonderful in your hands, but what can it actually do for me that a myriad of laptops/portable devices cannot? On one hand I can see why content developers will want one or two; it is another platform for them to earn money from. All the better to them - but, for the general public it seems to all come down to "who has the most toys at the end wins".
I read that when presented with the idea for a tablet device even Jobs couldn't find the compelling business/usage need the necessitate the creation of the device. They, of course, went ahead and did it; I suspect it will be a generation or two of use before we completely understand if it was a good decision or not.
Will I buy one? Nope - saving my money for that prime 85mm f.1.4 lens instead. =]

^haha well said lukus and plash!
its a decent product, just wish apple would stop raping the shit out of it - its amazing, revolutionary, life changing - please stfu apple.
and yeah its not very often you learn that a mate has a mac computer by seeing it with your own eyes before he or she has given a lecture about how great apple are OR have worn their favorite I <3 OSX t-shirt.
Use whatever computer/phone/tablet you like, but please stop preaching to me, you apple bumming iphone riding wanker.

I feel the same way - I _CAN'T STAND_ Apple fanboys!! .. especially the 'dude / bro' vernacular that will inevitably come with their online posts, due to the fact their SOOOO keen to show that they're 'cool' and are not like the nerds who use other platforms.
Make me want to vomit.

Get one, dont get one. really i could give a shit less. just stop calling it revolutionary and stop making such a big deal over your damn apple products. really, i have no problem with apple but huge issues with apple fanboys. all i want to do is hate crime you.

Hmmm....I dunno. Are there other companies making iPads that are comparable to Apple? I mean, OK, they support Flash possibly, but will their iPad really come with hundreds of thousands of apps and a community of developers? That's what will really make or break a device like this, great 3rd party apps and Apple has that element pretty much locked down.

Would you guys bother considering a tablet pad gizmo made by someone other than Apple? Seriously why are some of you so stuck on the iPad all things considering? apple failed at TV because they're not sony so what makes iPad better at network based PC pads than the others? PLease don't make the term 'iPad' synonymous with yet another perfectly varied piece of technology.

- why is this exclusive to ipad?
whatevsmarychain - true... slick, sexy app... but kinda limited to the USA isn't it?DoktorDavid
- If the tablet succeeds at all, I think the iPad will do well, just because of the Apple brand being the strongest/ most well knownukit
- Well, this app itself isn't the end game...it hints at the possibilitiesukit
- It's going to be a huge success - there's no doubt in my mind.lukus_W

Fuck Ipad. There's a Ipad 2, and Ipad 3 already vacuum packed and ready to go. With all the new features which have been premeditated about 5 years ago. But of course we won't see them for another 5 year
