I’m not sure why people are talking about ebook reader when they talk about iPad. To me, without eInk, it can’t be one. For example, this week I read a book called ‘Somewhere carnal over 40 winks’ on my hubby’s kindle and my eyes weren’t tired as they are on the PC screen. (BTW, that book is my hubby’s recent finding) I’m afraid iPad will tire out my eyes.

Compass implies GPS, as does the statement about it running all iPhone apps.

Bluetooth will probably end up being tke keyboard and picture interface for input, along with wifi.

It’s also N-speed, whereas the iPhones are G speed and will slow down a N network.

I’ll bite… at 16 gigs and 3G we’re talking $530. It will be worth that for the mapping on a 10″ screen.
