Nah, it will be much more convenient when I'm driving thru town trying to take down terrorists and Chloe has to send me my background info ASAP while I'm trying to tail several cars at once.

Exactly. For people who have both those items, what would be the point of getting it?

So why are you knocking it so much, they're are plenty of people who DON'T have both items and want one.

Why you defending it so much? For people who don't have both, and aren't rich $$$ it would not be a smart choice to buy it.

Hell if you're someone who has plenty of money to throw around and buying it won't hurt you, go for it!

Nintendo President Unimpressed with iPAD

TOKYO – Nintendo's president shrugged off the just unveiled iPad tablet computer from Apple as delivering "no surprises," and displayed as little enthusiasm for 3-D technology and high-definition upgrades for games.

"It was a bigger iPod Touch," Satoru Iwata said of the much anticipated device shown Wednesday by Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs.

Finally got to play around with the new iPad @ my local Best Buy. It's pretty amazing but the downsize are the Flash, Multi-Touch and the internet speeds are very slow. Try it before you buy. I recommend buying a 32GB version over the wireless AT&T version.

i noticed nothing slow about the multitouch or internet speeds, maybe your best buy sucks?
