WPTV-4 here in SFL just had a news piece on the iPad. They interviewed the EIC from Wired. He called the Kindle a "relic" now that the iPad is soon to be in the wild.

I laughed.

This, to me, seems like a toy. A good thing to play with at work. It would beat me lugging around my 13" laptop to work every day.

They mention 3G as well. But I wonder what aspect of 3G it will be...Will it be a free linkup like with a Kindle or a Nook?

Or will it be a subscription based plan, like my Verizon aircard
