One more thing - it sounds like a lot of the haters hate anything from Apple on general principle. I can understand this, somewhat...

But I think most of this hate is really just jealousy that they haven't been able afford to own the devices in the past. In this case, I don't think you are paying much of an apple tax. $500 is *cheap* for a device with a screen this size with multi-touch and an app store. (Are there even any competitors at this level yet?) They are setting the bar here for everyone else to live up to. No one else will seriously be able to release a tablet of this size for more than $500 without including the moon and three monkeys in the offering. For that...thanks Apple. No matter what else you do.
