Are you planning to get one? It looks like a cool device. :)

Looks like an amazing bit of kit, can't wait to try it out in the Apple Store! Not sure if I'll go right out and buy one though, I don't have too much need for a bigger iPhone at the moment, and that's the main reason I like my iPhone - it's so portable.

5 stars though!!

Yes a great looking gadget but personally I think it will either sink or swim on the availability of real applications and not gimmicks. What are the chances of real apps being made available for it? Will it have Microsoft Office or will it have an Adobe Suite coming out in the next 12 months? An oversized iphone will need something substantial to carry it well into the future and that means real apps.

I think I might be interested in a Windows equivalent somewhere down the road, depending on how they develop. I could see a device like it being what I buy when it comes time to buy a new laptop, especially when paired with an external keyboard.

From what I understand it's great if you want something for web browsing, checking email and organising photos. However if you're after anything more intense it's probably the wrong tablet to buy - at the moment.
