Agreed dryden, that's pretty slick. Hopefully they'll come out with a CF card adapter, even if it's 3rd party.

Did they say whether a data plan was required? Or could you just use it via wi-fi if you wanted?

You can either get the WiFi model or the WiFi/3G model (which will require a data plan)...

I think there is two different versions. With the 3g one I think there is no contract and you can cancel your service at anytime. If you already have an iphone why couldn't you just use your sim card from it?

Hands on review with video:
Apple iPad First Hands On - apple ipad - Gizmodo


Rumored to be in stores for tryouts on March 1. This will be the most fun Apple toy to try out yet.

Let me be the first one on BP to crap on this thing.

It looks pretty slick, but for me at least it's not useful at all. Reminds me of a Homer Simpson quote, where he said he would breed the pets to get an animal with the loyalty of a cat and the cleanliness of a dog.

For me it has almost all of the limitations of a mobile device, with only slightly more portability than my laptop.

I might eventually come around to it, but I can't imagine it taking the place of any devices that I currently use. It's an extra toy.
