Now every tech company has to get an ipad competitor on the market. Kudos to Apple for leading innovation like no one else. How many years have we seen people talk about thjs particular form-factor? Appple makes one and boom. Now everyone is doing it.

And, I will be curious to see how successful they are, or if they're just bringing an existing desktop paradigm to a touch screen.

I also find it interesting that everybody keeps pointing out that the iPad isn't anything new -- they're largely right, but the iPad is the first to be successful on any meaningful scale, as opposed to being a very niche product that nobody knows about. All of a sudden, every body wants a touch screen they can carry around with them.

At this point, I doubt there are many people living in "western" societies who don't know what an iPad is, it's been talked about so much. I think it's about time we actually started to see this form factor -- it's long overdue. The keyboard and mouse model is old and doesn't need to be used for everything.
