So, yes, it is nothing new... unless you consider it solves most of the complaints of earlier devices. Of course, the iPad has its issues also.

Also I expect (haven't tried it yet to know for sure) that it will be easier for a layperson to use for common tasks than the tablet computers.
On the other hand, I already have an iPod Touch and I'm not sure the bigger screen and other goodies will make that much difference. But I was wrong about the Kindle 2 and I could be wrong about this.
I'm planning on letting other people be the lab rats who try it out for me. But I'm interested enough to keep an eye on it. :-)
