Look at the big picture.

V1 has a lot of things missing, V2 will fill some. etc...

Upgrade, not upgradeability is Apples solution.

damn, I want a camera, now I have to upgrade to a V2. Who wins in this solution?

My other company does a lot of PC & Apple sales, and I notice that quite clearly.

Boths sides are quite adamant of the others issues.

Nope, not me. I'd rather buy some aquarium gear and get some use out of my money.

Not me either. Not willing to spend that kind of money on something that will be out-of-date as soon as they add new features, like camera, slots, multitasking, etc.

I can see the addition of a camera in the near future but not slots. That's not Apple's way. Multitasking will just be a software update.

A lot of hype but not exactly the revolutionary device that Jobs suggested. It seems like a lot of people are underwhelmed with it because Apple's stock has dropped close to $20 since it spiked hours after Wednesdays announcement.

If you are waiting for iPad v2.0 to come out and add a camera, multitasking, usb etc. you may not have heard of a device that I would wait for before I put money into an iPad - the courier.

Have a look at the 2 videos http://gizmodo.com/5365299
especially the one on the right sidebar.

Projected cost $600 and release mid-year.

I think this is an interesting view that agrees with my thoughts:

Got one and I use it daily for Internet, email, browsing and of course forums. Like this one. Forget about lugging your laptop around the house, you'll be a lot happier with this device. I'm typing this with my iPad. Hehehe
