Truth is between my laptop and my iPhone, there really isn't space left for another $500 device. If I can take the iPad around I can take my laptop too. IPad can't beat iPhone in terms of taking out of my pocket and quickly getting some info. Can't be my laptop because it can't run my work apps.

It's an entertainment device that can't fit in my pocket, and can't work like a bigger computer. I've got some space for it in my bathroom though, however doctor says I shouldn't sit there too long.

Seriously if it ran OS X it might be enticing, but why get an oversized iPod touch that can't fit in your pocket.

I'm going to wait for the iPhone with pico projector embedded.

The target demographic for this device may not be current iPhone, iPod or MacBook users. Consider the many people that want MacBooks but can't afford them. The iPad + keyboard dock is a lower-cost alternative, especially with iWork applications for $10 a pop.

I see this product as doing nothing but growing Apple's customer base.
