The part that kills me is no USB port. WTF.

I can see the Apple zealots getting this, but otherwise, I would not ever use this. Honestly, if I had an iPod or iPhone (I actually have the Moto Droid because I have Verizon) I would prefer using them, as they are the same, just smaller.

Basic specs are a 9.7" screen, 1Ghz Apple A4 processor, 16GB Flash memory standard but up to 64GB. 3G available 30 days after initial release. 802.11n wifi, Bluetooth, speaker microphone, accelerometer and a compass. 10 hour battery life.

Think of it as an oversized iPhone iPod Touch with a few extras.
Fixed.

So it's really a big iPod Touch that has 3G and can compete with the kindle and a laptop. Maybe it's just me but I'll continue to play tunes off my cell phone, tote around my much cheaper and vastly more functional laptop and a softback book if I care to read anything...

* Wi-Fi models shipping in late March.
* 3G models shipping in April.

WiFi: 16 GB - $499 \ 32 GB $599 \ 64 GB $699
Wi-Fi + 3G: 16 GB - $629 \ 32 GB $729 \ 64 GB $829
$200 for 48GB does seem a little pricey no? Then again wasn't the 4GB nano $150 and the 8GB $200....

You know what would be awesome? If we can have something like the iPad, only smaller so I can fit it in my pocket.

I know that I won't need the 64GB version so that price hike is meaningless to me. Movies are only about 0.5GB and TV Shows and books\magazines are much smaller. I wouldn't keep music on it because I'll still have to carry my iPhone for obvious reasons, so music could stay on that. I would go for the 16GB model maybe the 32GB model if I was anticipating different storage for the future. When compared to the Kindle DX, $499\$599 isn't bad at all.
