I don't know yet. It looks awe inspiring, and I think that the iPad app development field might be a good way to make a little cash if I get in early enough. People who buy the first generation, though, usually end up wishing that they waited for the second generation device with even more features and power.

Typically the second version works out any quirks and problems that they first one has. So I might wait.

I can see myself buying one on with the idea that it will make for some interesting multitouch large screen apps / web-apps.

I can also see myself not using it much. Maybe. Will wait for reviews and to see how the currency converts first, probably.

$499 -> £300? More likely.

$499 -? £499? Less likely.

I'm not, but I'm very excited about this. Setting the bar at $500 means the android equivalent will be within my price range.

Unlike others, I'm actually buying a netpad for the touchscreen keyboard. If you have chronic RSI, the soft touch needed more than makes up for the clunkiness of tactileless typing.

Probably.

Once the "this could be huge" wears off and some real reviews roll in and some 3rd party apps show up, I'll think about it.

2nd or 3rd version will be great either way, I think.
