Are some great insights here on the Apple brand but for existing customers there are some product discontinuities. I already have a iPhone which i do use to read books on & lots more. I pay for an expensive data plan & use WiFi as much as possible but i cannot use my SIM in the new iPad. That needs to be solved. BTW I have 3 Macs which do everything well. I will be looking at the iPad in US when im there soon &would like one but in NZ it might be a WiFi only device like my iTouch which i still have but forgot about. IPad if it was SIM enabled on regular networks (and i use XT ) might replace the next macbook but too early to say. A macbook with a mobile data card might be a better bet. I also note that when carrying around machines my black plastic one is much lighter than the others. Also this comment was entered via my iphone which is the very best device i've ever had. Perhaps target for iPad is non Mac users? (And children?) My 8 yr old daughter saw iPad on the news and had asked for one for her next birthday so its clear that the device has very wide appeal. But maybe less appeal for existing Mac users? There. Are some great insights here on the Apple brand but for existing customers there are some product discontinuities.
