I still see no point with these tablets. I really still don't get the hype associated with it.

Maybe I'm old school, but reading documents I really need a piece of paper, something tangible I can scribble on and mark-up. Judging from how "the iPad, with it's larger screen means you can read the newspaper on a large display with clear, legible text without feeling cramped" , soon we will have tablets the size of a 20" monitor.

seriously, 4" of screen space is enough, anything beyond that (ala HTC Evo 4G) is a joke. IMO if you are going to carry that much screen real estate with you, why not bring a netbook? why not bring a convertible netbook? - it isn't going to fit in your pocket anyway

it's a fun toy nonetheless; I'll give Steve Jobs the credit for creating such a huge hype machine, it is really nothing more but a scaled ipod touch
