I have to admit, this looks pretty cool. I still hold out a glimmer of hope, that I might have won one in a raffle at the RSA Conference.

What do you think of the iPad? I’ve been psyched about what an Apple tablet computer might have in store. On the one hand, I’m disappointed that flash storage is limited to 64 Gb, and that there is no camera, multitasking or Flash/Java support in the built-in Safari, but it’s darn pretty! I’ll give it that. With the keyboard, dock, and ability to plug in a camera, USB or SD card with an adapter, it is a very nice and somewhat expensive electronic multimedia device and personal planner. At this point, it gives people what I said was needed, “a 7-10 inch version of the iTouch”. The price is not that bad, running from $500 to $700 with wi-fi support ($130 more, plus monthly AT&T charges if you want 3G). I have to touch one, before I commit to buying an iPad, but I’m sure at least one friend will be in line to buy one in two months when they are released.
