I think this really is one for the Apple fan boys. I know Apple are saying this is a new product for a whole new segment of the market, but personally I don't see a hole that needs to be filled.

At the end of the day, it's just a giant iPod touch.

It's really a huge ipod touch (edit: not even iphone, right). So more like an expensive e-reader than the tablet computer rumours promised it to be.
Or am I missing something?

If apple can again create a market for something no one asked for, kudos to them.

(I know some people who will have one whenever it's out here, I don't think they care what it can do)
