Apple announces the new Ipad

Looks very sexy. I suspect I would miss my keyboard though.

It's not a computer. It's a big iPhone (often without the cellular radio). It's running the iPhone OS (including it's Flash-averse mini-browser) with a non-desktop CPU and is just as locked down (Apple gets to decide everything you can and can't do with it) as their phone.

It's slick, but I have trouble seeing the market because everybody most interested in this already has an iPhone and a Macbook. What do they need something in-between for, and why do they need to pay another $30/mo for it's data service?

It may have some promise as an ebook reader, especially for comics and magazines, but the screen is the same kind of backlit eyestrain inducing LCD nobody likes to read books on.

I really don't think they hit it out of the park this time.
