The main purpose of the iPad was to do as much as possible, without competing against other apple products. It is not a computer (mac) or a phone (iphone) or a small mp3 players (ipod). Apple wants people to own many apple products and not just one super product. The one concern is that is someone comes out with a super-product, it might make all of Apple's product's obsolete at one. I'm not sure why no one is working on this. Here is the product I want. The size of an iPad, with the same touchpad and also with a small pull out keyboard (or even a keyboard you can easily plug into the button the device). It runs windows 7 or the Mac 0S. It has a iPone/Mp3/GPS Player built directly into it, but it is removable. So I can take the whole thing, or just the part I need. I want a good battery and a retractable cord that I can plug in wherever I go. I want it to have a "book reader' mode, which changes the screen graphics so it can be a kindle. I want internet access. I want it to run apps and programs (the portable iPhone/Mp3 can run just Apps). A camera built in is nice. All of this seems somewhat reasonable. I think Apple could have done with already, but didn't want to compete with itself. Anyway, I am not getting an iPad. I have my phone for calls, mp3s, and crappy internet. I have my laptop for train rides and business. I have a GPS in my car. I don't want to carry something big around unless I can replace several other things. But I am old and poor. I think the IPad will sell well and it will especially hurt Kindle sales. I think the iPad will be very popular and fits into Apple’s larger picture.
