I dunno. I guess after the hype of the last three days, it was a bit of a let down. I mean, the iPad, wasn’t it meant to be a computer or computer-like device? That’s what I thought it’d be anyway. Yes next year they’ll have iPad 2.0 with bonus features like SMS capability and webcam, but really, like everyone else is saying, it’s just a clown shoe-sized iPod Touch with a few extra features. Like eBooks. Who reads books these days? People read magazines so naturally we need eMagazines to read eGossip about eBranjelina eBreaking up.

I’ll see what the pricing is all about once Optus comes to the party, but I dunno if I’d go buy one. Maybe on a plan or something, as I can’t get enough of using my phone at work, plus it’d really be great for graveyard shifts. $499US today is about $550AU. So they’ll sell for around $700, for the basic model. For that money, it’d probably be better to just buy a laptop, or something I can use for Photoshop watching DVDs downloading torrents ripping movies from Blockbuster Video into DIVX format writing dodgy stuff on Wikipedia pages.
