i've never felt even slightly compelled to get an iTouch, but have felt the Kindle would be interesting if it were in color. Now the iPad comes along...it is big enough to actually be useful for extended use...and I would really enjoy reading graphic novels (ie, comic books) on this thing. To me, the size and the color really make the difference vs an iTouch or a Kindle.

But yeah, a bit iTouch with a data connection is a rough way of looking at
it.

Isn't it just a bigger iPhone Touch?

or that people expect to come out in the next few months.


I have a T61 but it's getting old and would like to get a tablet

out of the water in price and features right?  Anyone got their eye on
