Interesting that I have not seen comments here or elsewhere pro or con on not having a DVD player or any way to load portable content. Does this pretty much lock you into what you download? Might not be too good if you are not going to be near wifi or other connection.

But does it have a microphone? The touch does not, and you lose out on a lot of fun apps, recording, etc…

Yes, it does have a speaker.

interesting. Is it closer to an expensive touchscreen netbook or an iPod touch with a pituitary problem, would you say?

I think GPS & camera are missing sorely.
I would prefer the cellular capabilities through tethering.

After it’s all said in done, do you think it’s still a ‘ginormous’ iPod Touch, Pete?

well, that’s something but I’m not quite thrilled. What about the e-reader? I already have iphone and macbook so why do I need this ipad? Just for spending more?
