It'll be fascinating if the device really does have a 10" OLED screen. Several industry watchers claim there is not enough manufacturing capacity today for an order of this size to not be noticeable. If it is OLED then there is a massive underground (unknown) facility somewhere.
I don't expect the hardware to be amazing. I know a lot of people don't like iTunes (I don't like the interface myself) but THAT is what they're selling, more than the hardware. It is similar to how the Kindle is selling Amazon's books-by-whispernet, not amazing hardware. Having one place to go for all media, iTunes in this case, is seen as an advantage to the average consumer. One stop shopping and simple click-to-buy.
