The majority of people I've spoken to that are into their gadgets etc all seem of the same mind as a lot of people here seem to - that right now, the iPad isn't quite there yet (almost but not quite) and the lack of a camera is a big miss. But, Apple will fix all these things plus drop the price, and when they do, it's a possibility that I might consider getting one...

One thing for sure, once they are on sale here, I'm definitely dropping by an Apple retailer to play with one instore, to see what it's like. Won't be buying, but do want to see/experience the thing for myself.

Courier's Rumored Specs

Based on what has already been reported, the rumored Courier tablet would have two 7-inch color screens, with a flexible hinge in the middle allowing the device to close like a book. The hinge would also have a home button, as well as indicators for wireless signal and battery strength. The two screens can accept handwriting from a stylus or multi-touch inputs from your fingers. Courier would not have any type of keyboard, and rely entirely on handwriting recognition for text input. Courier would also include Wi-Fi connectivity, and a camera on the back of the device. There's no word on whether Courier would include extras like a Webcam for video conferencing or 3G connectivity.

Source and for lots more info

It's all rumors at this point, but there have been many leaks about it...

I'll wait for another 2 or 3 years, just like I did for the iphone. You know they aren't going to give you their best product right of the bat.

If you ask me they should put a really  big core charge and recycling fee on this kind of electronics.  That way when it don't work well, at least it will be recycled.

Most of the info that I found was from Gizmodo. I was also able to find one video showing off some of the features. I wasn't able to embed the video so I will just post the link:

There won't be a lack of choices. There's the iPad, the Courier and now Google's. Also I think other laptop makers are producing their own tablet pc's. The question is which one is the best one?

Good finds. Both videos were right on target. Hitler: "But it's on AT&T... how am I supposed to use their crappy network!"

120 minutes long...Bloody amazing speech..Well worth watching on Apple website...

How good was the speech...Well RICO was not thinking about wgs for two hours ...

Even though I hanged onto Jobs every word, it seemed to me halfway through the presentation he didn't sound as convincing when compared to his previous keynotes. It lacked the supreme confidence when they introduced the revolutionary one-piece aluminum enclosure MacBooks.

As for buying one, I'll hold on until they release the 3G enabled versions a month after the regular ones. And even then I'd give it a second thought. It's definitely something I'd use indoors-only.

And just for fun, the speech condensed to under 180 seconds

I'm inclined to wait for the second or generation version. As with the iPhone, the first version had limitations that were ironed out with the updates.

But unlike the iPhone, the iPad isn't something completely new. In this instance, what you see is what you get: An oversized iPod touch. I'm willing to bet any limitations it will have are deliberate omissions so they are able to sell a more enticing second generation product (i.e.: Front facing and rear facing cameras.) Not quite the case with the iPhone 3G, that introduced many improvements and fixes over the original.
