Apple has done it again. Check out the new Apple "tablet", known as the iPad, here. Competitively priced, this could change the whole playing field.
The iPad is basically an upsized iTouch. With a 10 hour battery life, it looks like a promising venture on Apple's part, especially after their previous failed attempt to enter the PDA market with the Newton. Personally, I wouldn't say that this competes with other tablets on the market. I think it competes more with eBook readers like the Kindle from Amazon and the Nook reader from Barnes and Noble. Its a more interactive reader that offers a larger range of featutes and connectivity options. The ebook store will also do for books, what the iTunes Music store did for records, it will shift the focus from conventional books to ebooks.
Look at the possibilities for a photographer. The ability to bring his portfolio along with him at all times (shown on such a brilliant display), the ability to shoot tethered from an iPad. Wow!
On another totally seperate note, the world makes sense again. Manchester United beat Manchester City 3-1 to enter the final of the Carling Cup Final 2010.

You are merely talking about the multi-touch feature. I'm looking at the entire package. As a whole, the iPad is great for people in certain professions such as photographers and event planners.
What people don't understand is that it is not a laptop, but a companion to one.
