The iPad isn’t the device I desire, and all Apple did was write new apps, update some of their current ones like Mail, Calendar and Contacts (which it would be a shame if they didn’t trickle down to the iPhone via an update, lets face it, the real estate exists for these views to work on the iPhone as well).

The iPad in the end, is an iPod Touch with a bigger HD, bit stronger CPU, and that’s about it.

Don’t get me wrong, I would love for textbooks to be issued via iTunesU/iTunes Book Store so my kids dont have to suffer through carrying unnecessarily heavy textbooks as early as 3rd grade …. but, to be honest, a color kindle satisfies that need. They’d still need a laptop to write their papers and do their homework. *sigh* So close, yet so far away.
