I was ready to go out an buy one this week when it was introduced. I decided to wait lest a catastrophy like Vista should occur. But I agree with you. This seems like it will be a great addition.

To Pariuri:

I recommend you rewatch the Apple Key note. In the first 20 minutes Jobs defines what the iPad is and is not. For the features that you are looking for you should get the following by Job's own definition this is not a do everything device.

1. It has no multitasking - Get a laptop

2. It is not capable of replacing my smarphone - Keep your smart phone

3. No camera - get a smart phone or laptop or a camera

4. the ipad requres to have a MAC - not true. it has wifi built in and you can activate and use without a laptop or smart phone. If you happen to have itunes sharing from a Mac OR PC then you can access those libraries, if not then you can just use the iPad by itself.

5. it has a closed system - This is good and bad. Good news is that the tighter release management of a closed system keeps apps from crashing the device as often as a windows or linux based system. Bad, they may not have the flexibility you are looking for.

6. It has no GPS - get a smartphone with GPS or a laptop with a GPS

7. connectiviy is limited, you ned to pay more money to improve it - Same goes for your smart phone an laptop. if you want a $500 laptop it won't have 3G and if you want a free smartphone it won't have wifi, etc.

This device is not meant to replace anything. It is meant to augment your digital life as they are trying to create a new technological market space. Only time will tell if they succeed. The fact that they got the entry price to that of a Sony eReader gives them a good start. Their main competitors are the Sony eReader and the Amazon Kindle, not your Android or Dell laptop.

Here is an example of how it transformed digital artist Claudio Arango, and how it can transform and art exhibition, and art in general.

First art exhibit on an iPad. Art goes to the street.

Felipe,

Thanks for the comment and the links! The youtube video is really amazing to watch the reactions of the public. That is exatly what I was getting at, too. You comment is right on point. This will change things, art is just one place, in ways that Steve Jobs doesn't even see coming. Although you know he is ready to pounce on the profits from those changes as soon as they happen!

As a side note, what a great place to live where an artist can show the human form on the street like that and have people enjoy and appreciate it. Fantastic!

I bought the ipad, I love it. However, I suggest if you are not one to travel much, or if you won't use it on the couch or the bed - then don't even buy it. It comes in great use for when I am laying on the couch in front of the television, or when I am on the airplane since it is a lot more convenient than a laptop.

I absolutely love the iPad for both creating and displaying art. I beleive it is a new medium of it's own. I collaborated with programmer Scott Collard to create the Annamika app. It is a continuation of my Flash kaleidoscopes that engages the viewer in a way that could not have been done with web-based media alone.
