I think they missed the boat by NOT including a built-in webcam in it. I think I read that you could attach one via USB, but there is no reason the iPad couldn't/shouldn't come with it built in. :shrug:
If and when they drop the price, I may be tempted to buy one. Just like buying a new operating system though, give it a year or so, let other people work out the kinks and that before eventually buying the more stable version in a years time.

The Ipad will not have USB...at least not without the USB dongle.

Sorry...meant to say you need the iPad camera connection kit from their site to connect your camera via USB. On the bottom of their site: http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/

Yes, I'll be getting an iPad, and yes, I already have an iPhone.
The iPad (and future copycat tablets like it) will find a huge market in the millions upon millions of people worldwide that currently don't embrace computers and have been left behind by technology...no concept of the internet, email, chatting, discussion boards, webcams, youtube, twitter, facebook, buying music and movies online, etc. People who currently fear or hate computers because they find them too complicated, buggy, or high maintenance. People who don't want to look at the internet on a tiny telephone or iPod screen. Think about your parents, possibly, or grandparents. Television is constantly referring to an online world that they are completely left out of. Those of us who use computers currently might find the iPad to be rather toylike in its simplicity, but for older generations, or even pre-school aged children, this simplicity is its strength.
Don't discount the amazing applications that will be developed for the iPad too, just as there have been for the iPhone/iPod Touch. As a digital production artist and animator myself, I think mobile application development will only continue to explode and I hope to find my niche within it. It's already a billion dollar industry and is only going to get bigger as more and more mobile devices like the iPad are released.

Sorta OT, but Tosh.O got the new IPad before it came out, and destroyed it with a golf club. That was hilarious. But, nah--I won't be getting one. I have an IPod, and IPhone. I think that's enough.
