@tallmomof2 err. skype runs just fine on my iphone. don't know where you're saying no skype.

@dawnfalcon as for adept being a "plus point" i honestly thing the general public could care less what version of DRM is used. you only want adept because you already have adept protected books. apple is using their own DRM for books they sell form their bookstore. no one says the ipad doesn't have, or won't get, an ebook reader application that will work with adept protected books. this device isn't a fixed-in-stone tablet. all it takes is another application.

also, i'd like to point out to everyone. this ipad runs already existing iphone/touch applications, including kindle for the iphone. i don't think apple's going to restrict the ipad and prevent that application from loading and running, can you imagine the negative press on that one? we'll just have to wait until people have them in their hands to see for sure, but saying it won't run kindle books or adept books or stanza is a little premature since no one here has one in their hands.
