neat...QT installed GREAT...and it let me make sure it did not take over the video/music apps and what not I already use...neat...

Anyway, interesting vido as the iPad does look nice in the video. Thing is they say "it's the best" about 100005 times but never get into why. I know, it's a marketing video so it does it's job. But after watching it, I see it is worth keeping an eye on, but as I don't see that as a device is it worth more then $250 to me. Now I don't care what mfg costs are or any of that, I am saying, to me, as it functions in the video, sans HWR and afew other things, the device is worth no more than $250 to me and that would have to be with the 3G option AND Wifi. There is no chance a 64GB version is worth $400 more than the 16GB basic version...it's the same device and even with a flash based memory in those sizes not being as cheap as other options, the wholesale costs are not near that price differential. But without a browser that supports Flash and a few other items lacking, I just don't see it...

I will say they ebooks looked nice on the panel and I am assuming one can customize the background color as well as manually adjust the backlight to taste. I suspect many folks get eye strain because they don't adjust their LCD for the ambient light as well as their eyes.

Anyway, it is a nice looking device for sure...but won't be more than of causual interest to me. Given a choice between the iPad and the Entourage Edge, the Edge wins in my book.
