    People will be buying the ipad from a luxury, modern trend image like they have always with Mac Products. Giving them a list of technical reasons not to buy it is not going to convience them to not go and buy it. Though after media watch and all the news outlets drolling over the ipad as the next evoultion of distribution of 'news' are in for a rude awakening when steve jobs bends them over and royally pounds them in the ass. Technically how can you classify 'news' today, consider a large percentage of there ad revue is from real estate agency who're making a killing off selling houses around Australia, conflict of interest anyone?

    I suspect a lot of people have already bought it (300,000+ units already) and will continue to buy it because they have no idea of what it actually does or how it does it.

    You're right on one count, though. They'll buy it for what it is. An Apple product. It fits in with their iPod, which is ever so cool!

    Though there is something to be said that Apple is first the market with the tablet design and touch interface. One things that is overlooked by most. They can hit critical mass very easy now and depending on the release world wide it may be a killer for most other players trying to catch up and enter the market. For example the HP slate is still lagging behind the Ipad and there has been hardly any news or release dates confirmed for the device. No doubt there will be clones of the Ipad coming out of china in the next 2-3 months, just like the Ipod's. Though it seems that if apple plays its cards well and releases the device near the $499 Mark, and recoops the lost revenue from DRM content then they could in essence hit critical mass very easily.

    It's also questionable too that its kind of ironic that a lot of news outlets give publicity to the new Ipad considering that its meant to be delivering their new DRM content for their news papers in the future.

    I see Adobe's got ipad/iphone compilers for AIR apps now too - which means there really is practically zero need for Flash on these devices now.
