Cause this is supposed to replace a laptop, and 16 GB is paltry for videos.

and the "maybes" already come out. Even you cannot think of a good reason to drag a $500 toy around.

OK, so lets get this straight:
- You're not using it for video.
- You're not using it for music, since you'll be carrying an iPhone/iPod.
- You're not using it as a cell phone, since you'll be carrying one.
- You're putting it in the same bag as your laptop.

So what are you using it for?

That's the worst argument of all. Lets release a POS, yet poeple will buy it, so we won't need to make it better till v2.0.

I guess you missed my point about kids.

Grandparents is a pretty niche and limited market.
