Not for me - yet, it's going to be too limited for the money. I think I'll wait for the next version.

I might still get the Kindle DX.

can't see what all the fuss is about really. It's really nothing new, the tablet has been around for years in varying forms and has never taken off, so I don't see why this one would be any more successful

I see your point - it's just another, done before, gadget.

It does not have enough to tempt me to part with money to buy it.

having said that, in a way the iPod was nothing new either, merely a more modern rip off of the Walkman. If anyone can pull it off it is Apple, as more than anything they are really a marketing company first and foremost

Yup - I agree. Was hoping for a bit more to be honest.
I want to read (lots of) books so the Kindle with its e-ink seems ideal - just hope the iTunes bookstore does not get exclusivity from publishing houses and therefore strangle the Kindle and others forcing us to use an LCD based reader....

I never went for the iPhone, I got the Nokia E72 which I am happy with. Mr PP bought me the iPod Touch and I am thrilled with it, battery life isnt fabulous but it suits me to the ground and I prefer keeping my phone as a seperate gadget.

My eyesight is shit so I do struggle sometimes with the ipod touch, but I love the ease of which I can do stuff.

Now the iPad, I havent seen it except from photos and if someone were to say 'hey I will buy that for you' - I would be happy. But I dont think I would part with my money to buy one.

I reckon like many, wait a bit and see what happens.

It doesn't seem very good value.

Thats what I thought, as I say - a pressie very nice thank you but not something I would invest in.

I would rather save my coins and get a decent computer so I can do my movie making and creative stuff. iPad seems a bit of a toy more than something super functional.

But god I love my iPod Keith, Im downloading some albums at the weekend and will perhaps rent a movie.

My little 8 gig nano is too small capacity wise, I get bored having to change the music. Maybe upgrade

Mines only 8g which at the time I thought was plenty, I dont have a big music collection but a larger size would be nice.

But for now I am happy, I use it for the net when my laptop crashes, I check the weather, my email, games etc. Excellent value.
