I have a Sony Vaio P (I purchased for $700US) with a 1600 by 768 pixel screen, 2GB ram,1.86ghz (intel z540 chip), 128GB SSD (Sony OEM not runcore -_-) & ipod nano (2008 model) and a blackberry bold (9000)
I love the crisp pictures my Sony P provides, the res is worse on the ipad specs
I don’t care if the screen is slightly larger, My laptop is smaller, weighs lighter and fits the purpose of space efficiency and portability. It has a spaced out keyboard and the beta version of MS Office 2010 on it. Apple’s ‘killer app store’ provokes a loud yawn and sure it has 1-5% (some) practical value, most of the apps are novelty crap and the only one to defend it’s necessity to the death seem to be apple fanboys or dullards whose last major electronic purchase was the NES in the late ’80s… I am sick of the plants on radio who promote this crap, the reviewers who seem to be on Jobs’ payroll and others who think this is an ‘economical solution’ at US $500+, it makes me sick… especially when I think about the elderly who’ve never heard of a tablet PC and get suckered into purchasing this device because of the large colourful screen and reading utilities make it easier to access their books and newspapers. Sure that alone is worth 500 smackers plus your credit details, data payments and download charges for the material. So far no apps have been created to make it a worthwhile purchase at any price ($1 even) I wouldn’t waste any of my wi-fi, money or time on it, unless I was paid a princely sum.

well the ipad is like the itouch u can do internet and everything a laptop can do
BUT of course the ipad has a very good touch screen. the i pad also has a good screen resolution
but if u are an apple fan u would want this
i don’t need an ipad 2
because an i touch is just like it but less heavier and its portable…i dunno wat apple was thinking but i kinda like it…haha -

You don’t need an iPad, the first time I heard about it I automatically thought giant iPod touch. The only way you’d want to get this is if you want a bigger iPod touch or if you want to spend 500+ for no reason.

I would buy the iPad instead of a Sony Reader or Kindle.
