90,000 iPad Pre-Orders in the first six hours

imho the iPad

+ Would be useful if you need an electronic clipboard

+ Would be a cool coffee-table device for webzine browsing

+ Would make you the envy of classmates/co-workers

otoh,

- It's awkward to use portably in conjunction with actual paperwork

- Can't leave it unattended, just as inconvienient as a regular notebook computer

- Since I can't carry it in my pocket, might as well get a real portable computer

+/- awesome to emulate Star Trek devices

hmmm!
sounds interesting... I'll be checking what's gonna happen to them after couple of day after they use it LOL!

OR isn't it marketing heck?

I haven't preordered one mainly cause I never preorder anything but I'm still excited about it. Still haven't seen any competitors announce anything similar/better. Guess there's no point in beating Apple to the market, better to wait until the early rush moves and then introduce as an "iPad-killer".
