Well if its your thing to have a tablet, with an innovative e-reader (iBooks and iBook Store), mobile email, and web browsing; then your going to get a fantastic product. For the rest of us, welcome to the world of the oversized iPod Touch.
While it may be a fantastic product, for most of us, we can get the same thing out of an iPod Touch. Sure this thing has a larger viewing screen on it for you photos and videos, but thats going to be about it. Another downfall is that it has no camera. Come on Steve… its 2010 baby. NO CAMERA?!? At any rate, with any piece of technology, it might be worth waiting around for the second generation iPad before picking one up.
