    The OS just isn't there yet. There are rumors that iPhone OS 4.0 will be a complete overhaul, and likely not compatible with earlier generation iPhones.
    So you agree that the iPad as it is now is a product that you think will fail.

    No. It will fail with the tech crowd. For the mainstream, it's a toy and as a toy it seems pretty fun and worth $500. Surf the internet, watch a movie, play a game, etc.

    It's well priced. It be hard for it to fail. Most of Apple's failures are a result of their high price.
