Steve Jobs unveiled the new Apple iPad touch screen tablet computer today. There was so much media hype leading up to the great reveal that I was sure that the thing would break new ground in personal computing. Based on what I've read so far, that doesn't seem to be the case. The tablet looks like a giant iPhone and functions in a similar way. The price ranges from $499-$829, depending on capability. You can read reviews of the iPad here and here. The graphics and the touchscreen capabilities are just gorgeous:

I think I'm just too old to learn new things. Either that...or I don't do well with change.

That's the beauty of these new products, though. There is nothing to learn. It responds instantly to your touch.
I don't understand how it would be convenient to type or work on something like this. And yes, the name really disgusts me. I wish they had gone with iPage.
really awesome gadget. Great innovation. I like it.
Apple is so good at making beautiful objects and convincing you you need them. I too succombed to the Iphone fever.
