I'm with James. I don't see any value in this.., and I think they're overpriced for what they "don't have" when compared to netbooks that sell for much less.
What I also find shocking is the capacity sizes for the models. They're what.., 16GB/32GB/64GB. This new iPad is nothing more than a large iPod Touch.
You can buy an HP netbook at Walmart with a 1.66ghz proc., 1 gig ram, 10.1" monitor (wide screen), 160gig hard-drive, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Integrated web cam, 5 in 1 digital media reader, all for less than $300.
I've got the 3rd generation iPod touch.., and I don't see anything on this new iPad that would make me want it over my iPod.., nor anything on it that would drive me to choose it over a netbook.
