I must say that Sunday night Robin and I did indeed go to the Apple store and handle the much coveted iPad, and I must say it is every bit as magnificent as they say! Leave it to Jobs to tell it like it is - you have to HOLD one to truly understand its magnificence. For the first time, I heard Robin say that this was definitely a product we should consider buying.
Stitch, it truly is a fast machine, and there is no other experience like surfing the web on it. Now I'll reserve judgement for the iWork applications, bit my limited exposure was very positive! I'm a huge fan of the new calendar implementation - it's just like a real classic desktop calendar where you flip the pages effortlessly. Apple really thought through the software!
I admit I am consistently annoyed by the deluge of copy cats out there who just can't seem to create original products. I know I am biased, but I truly believe that Apple leads the pack with innovations, an most everyone else comes into the market with their "me too" stuff.
Stitch, should I stop being annoyed, and just accept it as a part of our world?

Glad to hear that you have experienced the iPad first hand. I know that those days of waiting in line for a new Apple store are behind you. Now that the Apple stores are everywhere, its just not the same.
As for the disgust I hear in your words about the copycat products. Hey there have been "tablet" PC's for years and they continued to flop year after year. Leave it to Apple to stand up and say, "If your not going to give it your all, then its just not worth doing". And it looks like they once again gave it their all. I am most impressed at how they were able to release iWork apps on day one. They can crank out software like no other. And make amazing hardware to boot.
