Really? The iPad? Sounds like something my wife would send me to the store for...I'm just sayin' :-)

#142Pretty amazed there is apparently no front camera.
That's the wow moment I was waiting for.

#144Honestly, I'm just disappointed that something bridging the gap between iPhones and laptops doesn't have Flash or app backgrounding.

$499 unlocked... cheaper than the unlocked iphone.. I say possibly wow!
Good price for an unlimited plan, plus unlocked out-of-the-box. Also, I have good reason to believe that AT&T's exclusivity deal with Apple is ending around June. If that's the case, expect to see other data carriers run with this too.
Well, the device is unlocked, so you can just pop in any SIM card? Right?
Oh, right. You’re in the US. So you can’t :)

You had me excited for a second there.

Sure.. but it's ugly next to the iPad and as Steve Jobs has proved time and time again looks count. At a $499 starting price this might not kill Kindle but it will take a huge bite out of its market. There is clearly no doubt about that. EDIT: I am a Kindle owner btw.. I even wrote a blog post defending it against the new Apple tablet but after seeing this I have to change my mind. I had no idea that Apple was pursui…
You gotta remember that Amazon has been out there in the market executing for over the last year while others have been developing. Plus Amazon has the inside lane with publishers. And Amazon's infrastructure is second-to-none. Kindle-killer? Don't think so. If I had to bet on Apple vs. Amazon I'd put my money on Amazon.
Don't underestimate Apple's experience with ITMS. And looks like they are dealing pretty well with infrastructure.

#148Apple A4? I smell a renewed deal with Motorola...
Motorola doesn't do semiconductors anymore, they spun that off to Freescale. Also, Apple bought chipmakers PA Semi a few years ago. The Apple A4 CPU is probably built by the former PA Semi.
PA Semi is fabless, right? So who's knocking out all these A4 processors for iPads?

#149Looks like the market wasn't liking this until Steve Jobs announced the price -- right when the price was announced you can see the stock jumping in price.

#150Waiting on that wow moment, still basically just a huge ipod touch . . .
No phone. Less computing power than a MacBook. Lame.
