It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I can't imagine where and I why I would use this, instead of a laptop.

If I did a ton of business travel, I would buy one in a heartbeat (except I'd wait for the 2nd gen because Apple products are never quite right the first time out). But I can't see myself using it at home, and a netbook is still a LOT cheaper.

But with business travel, you need a keyboard, and word processing. And the iPad doesn't multitask.

belatedly, seconding Seskas thanks. Yeah I bet I can find something in those designs that work. If they are all too pricey, I might be able to kludge something ugly but functional stealing their designs.

Because you want to pretend that you're on Star Trek.

For my work this will be brilliant. I spend a lot of time on and off planes and in and out of my car going to meetings etc. The Calendar and notes app on this alone are almost worth the price. I tend not to consistently bring my laptop to fast meetings since it is a hassle to open up and get the apps up and running. The fact that this is based on a similar UI to the iPhone means I'll be able to very quickly use it in meetings.
Beyond that I typically have scripts and show treatments in PDF format and already to most of my notes and markups electronically so I'll be able to bring the iPad to rehearsals and run through instead of sitting with my laptop out.
I'm also on my feet on job sites quite a bit where a traditional laptop doesn't make sense. I end up walking through the site taking notes in a spiral notebook and then retyping those as needed. With this I'll be able to take notes directly into the iPad and can even email things immediately.
So yeah, this thing is going to be a godsend. I'll happily buy the first revision, and the way things go with me most likely replace it with the second version when that comes out since this thing will have paid for itself in increased productivity.

There is a word processor for it and it will work with the keyboard dock, or with the Apple bluetooth keyboard.

Yeah, I can see that it would be totally useful for someone like you, ND.
