What the iPad really is, it's a way for schools to save tons of money on textbooks. My HS teacher GF is already talking about it among her pears'. I bet in 5 years the book will be history like the audio record, VHS cassette, non DSP radios(to keep on K3 topic),etc....

And for the price, you could pick up 3 netbooks and put whatever flavor of *nix or windows on it that you like (even os x). Not to say tablets dont have potential but currently they seem to be little more than internet 'appliances'.
