I am, however, totally unimpressed with the iPad product. There is nothing new here, except a new way to leverage the iTunes Store for Apple's profit, a bigger screen and some incremental improvements to software.

From an ereader point of view, I suspect they want to establish the iPad as the new Kindle and then chain its users to the iTunes store.

Pricing is high, storage is limited and NOT expandable, without a memory card slot, this is a toy not a computer for your music, photos or anything else. In six months a 128mb unit will probably be available without an upgrade path for the leading edge consumers that purchase this thing.

My humble opinion, FWIW

Uncle Eric
so what ereader comes with 64 gig (i am sure you meant 128 gig also)

64 gigs is a lot of stinkin' books plus, web, plus movies etc etc
