Is anyone here going to buy it? If so, why please? That was my reaction to the Kindle. WTF? Why would anyone buy an overpriced Kindle when you could get a Laptop for the same amount. And then they sold the sheet out of 'em. I'm still a little unclear on the paradigm, except I can see professionals who would normally carry a lot of books around desiring one. I think the apple tablet cannot have a 10" screen, except it occurred to me that a 10" x 5" screen might work. People hate to scroll horizontally, but they are used to vertical scrolling. A form factor this size would still fit in pockets. Maybe 8" x 4" ??? Anyway I think it has to differentiate itself from a netbook or laptop. It has to have incredible connectivity. I think it has to have a phone. I see it as a business tool. Perhaps part of a strategy to put one more wedge into the business world. What is has or doesn't have is going to be a big surprise I think. It's so fun to speculate and it's going to be fun to see it and then debate it. I also think it's part of Jobs' lingering obsessive wish for personal vindication for introducing the Newton.
