Your cost: iPad $499.00
It will replace my Kindle, and 3rd party development will extend the device to do things we can’t even dream up right now. I, for one, welcome our new iPad overlord - but then again I’m a card carrying fanboy.

I loved this quote from the show tonight. Powerful stuff.
“Our works in stone, in paint, in print, are spared, some of them, for a few decades or a millennium or two, but everything must finally fall in war, or wear away into the ultimate and universal ash - the triumphs, the frauds, the treasures and the fakes. A fact of life: we’re going to die. ‘Be of good heart,’ cry the dead artists out of the living past. ‘Our songs will all be silenced, but what of it? Go on singing.’ Maybe a man’s name doesn’t matter all that much.”
- Orson Welles, F For Fake
- Device will have a virtual keyboard.
- A camera will be included, intended to allow multiple users to have different profiles on the device triggered by face recognition.
- The New York Times, Conde Nast, HarperCollins Publishers and News Corp. appear to be on board with selling content on the device through a virtual news stand that resembles iTunes.
- A “best of TV” subscription service that would allow users to purchase packages of four to six shows from each network that they could watch on demand.
Of course the $1,000 question remains: will it be more of a MacBook Touch with e-reader capability? Or an 11-inch iPod Touch with e-reader capability?
