I will own one. It seems more convenient for the long flight entertainment standpoint. Even if I used it for that alone, I would want one.

No way can you run apple devices for 10 hours on one charge. the screen is too vibrant and there are too many battery-sucking functions....Wi-Fi being chief amongst them.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

Doesn't even matter anymore. I can't remember the last overseas flight that I wasn't able to charge, or at least plug in, my electronic devices.

I'm not going to crap on this device just because I am skeptical about apple's battery claims. It looks to be a nice device for many people.
One thing Apple could do for those of us who are tethered to powerful Apple desktop machines... turn this iPad into a touch-screen bluetooth monitor for our wired towers. Working in art/design, I teach my students on Wacom's Cintiq touch-screen monitors. They are gorgeous, pressure sensitive monitors that allow the user to draw directly on the screen. For some design fields, they are a true game changer. Wacom currently has no serious competition. If the iPad could do what a Cintiq can do, it would be HUGE.

also, will you be able to get email pushed to the device? or it is all pop3 via the internet/web app?Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

Starts at $499, WOW, way less than speculation. Not sure if 16 gig is enough but if you really want one that's pretty cheap."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.
