The cost is way too much for such a device but apple appears to be the one company that can overcharge for products. I just hope if this takes off someone else copies it and makes it better and more cost effective.

Apple won't lose money on the iPad, that's for sure. There are enough people out there who would buy a turd with an Apple logo on it, that their profit is practically guaranteed.

You were saying ...

The masses of people bought, and still buy, the iPhone (for example) because it did what they wanted it to do and no one else could "get it together" to do it as Apple did. They still can't "get it all together" to do what Apple is doing and a lot of companies are playing "catch up".

It's the same way with the iPad and it's going to be the same type of thing with its success too.

There are those who get products that work and work well for them, and then there are those who cry about it and are the "nattering nabobs if negativity" -- grousing about not having it... LOL ...
