Some people are foaming at the mouth over the new iPad. I hate to rain on their parade, but... I can get the same functionality for 1/2 the price. And furthermore:
* The iPad isn't a real widescreen (16x9) * Doesn't have a USB port [yet] * Can't multi-task * Has no camera * Doesn't support e-ink * Doesn't have a slot card * Doesn't have a GPS * Closed source OS * And finally - no Adobe Flash
But it does have touch screen. All these people will shell out $600 for a touch screen? Not me. Don't drink the Kool-Aid kiddies :)
