Needham & Company says the iPad is "another winner." RBC Capital Markets, judging by the general unenthusiastic reaction from the tech community says: "Not everyone ... [ read the full article ]

Have no need for one, but I think it will be interesting to see how well it sells.

Lol, 1 million to 5 million...give or take a few million. Where did they get these numbers from?
I don't see this selling. I've seen a lot of posts even on CNET (people who are very biased towards Apple products), and the majority are simply disappointed and not interested. I think these analysts are just creating more false hype for a poor/overpriced product.

Analysts believe there are actually 1 to 5 million people actually dumb enough to buy this? My next question, how many shares of stock do these analysts own in apple? Maybe that's harsh, if you like to rent your media, buy apple.
With the DRM products like this have in place, all you'll ever do is rent.
If your fish seems sick, put it back in the water.

No, it is an oversized iPod...an oversized iPhone would make calls and take pictures.
I might consider getting a slate when it comes out...
This thing is locked to AT&T, has no SD support (without a giant adapater), no multitasking, and it does not even have flash support! I honestly don't know what this thing is for...the only thing it does that the more affordable, more functional iPhone does not is the ebooks...and the kindle is a fraction of the price. Sure the screen is bigger than an iPod...but if you can't do anything with it, who cares how big the screen is?

Hell, if my bank account allows it, who cares about the price and features, i get every new toys :)
I think it's cool, but still, for $500, you're getting only 16gb, no flash enabled web surfing, no multi-tasking...

Yeah guys.. I thought so too.. more like a netbook/laptop without a keyboard... plus you can treat it like any other piece of hardware. I will keep an eye on how it goes.. especially the reported G3 capability for the full production release.
