I reserved two -- the first being a 16 and then I thought maybe I'd like a 32, so I reserved that last night -- I'm only getting one, so someone will be lucky.

Its wild though, the 32 is about 635 with tax + 43 for a case + 76 for apple car, that is a good 750 for the thing.

Given the limits of the iPad (it running a stripped OS), are you at all nervous about the worth of the purchase. I really love the idea, and the OS will make it lightning fast vs a typical computer that you wait for programs to load, but 750 can buy you a great lightweight 13inch laptop, or 2 netbooks with 3g. (I hope this is not insulting at all, I am just interested about the hype)

I have two laptops and a desktop, not looking for another full-featured computer. I love the idea of a "big iphone" or simplified computer that does a few things well. I guess I'm a tech whore. Im interested in the JooJoo and Norton Adam too, its just that the iPad has a huge lead when it comes to software.
