I agree with Jeff’s opinion here. Like right now its confusing because its a new device and you aren’t sure what its for because it doesn’t fit with your current expectations of what technology is supposed to do today. But overtime it becomes more accepted and becomes popular. Like what happened with the iPod…eh where do you put in the CD that’s useless?? I guess the thing to ask yourself is when was the last time you saw anyone do anything *new*, it doesn’t happen that often…which is why todays annoucement is so important.

Someone asked me what I’d use it for I said – it’s years ahead of anything else. I see them on coffee tables, in meetings and for travel. Multitouch on that size screen just makes it so simple and intuitive to use and the apps look great. Also I see it as quite a socialable device, pass it round people, can’t really do that with a laptop. Personally I’ll buy one just because I wanted an ebook reader, but I wasn’t a fan of the E-Ink taking 2 secs to change page and flashing black, and the new Sonys have fuzzy displays because of the touch screen layer. I also think the web browser and email will be great to use in the morning instead of using my phone.

Overall, can’t wait to get one, and to start building apps for it. Two-player board-type games I believe will be big, can’t wait to play air hockey on it.
