I posted about this the first day I got the ipad.

I own both actually, and let me tell you my asus 1201N has not even been booted since I got my ipad, and I don't think a day has passed when I have not used the ipad for at least 5 hours.

ITouch and iPad have PDA functionality, but I don't think I would refer to either as one.. Itouch is an offshoot of the success of the iPhone and more of a media/iPod/game device than a pda and the...

Look at the JooJoo reviews (formerly the crunchpad), which was just released too. It completely sucks. I expect that the other tablets will more resemble the JooJoo than the iPad for at least a year...

I think it's somewhere between a zero sum game and what you said.

For instance you mentioned PDAs, but they got wiped out by the smartphones. I don't know anyone that uses one any more. I also...

I actually have a bad feeling the birth of the ipad is the beginning of the end of the dedicated ereader. I had the same feeling about 3dfx when nvidiA released the TNT so long ago.

I think it's quite funny that guys like jswolf (who I think has dismissed every reader ever released btw) dismiss the iPad so quickly.

Bill Gates

"It's is a nice reader, but there's nothing on the iPad I look at and say, 'Oh, I wish Microsoft had done it."

iPad is a reader. One of it's primary functions is ebooks, unlike the iphone and itouch. It has it's own store for buying books.

It should definitely have it's own forum in the ebooks category.
