Well, it's most likely going to be the top-secret thing that Apple unveils next. Supposedly it's going to be game-changing technology/UI, and the rest of the industry will follow. Maybe it's a combination of using fingers and a tablet pen, or maybe Apple has reworked MacOS with an entirely new interface to accomodate the tablet. Who knows, but I can't wait to see it.

There's always so much hype surrounding new Apple products.

Can't wait until Wednesday for the unveiling.

But, I have a feeling it's not going to live up to the hype.

Bleh. It doesn't even run MacOS. The hardware is extremely limiting. Disappointed.  

You can't fool me Steve Jobs!

no...after reading the specs..it really does...well...it's basically a giant ipod touch, with bigger this and that, and a couple more, in my opinion, worthless functions. People aren't going to dump their very useful netbooks and laptops for something that performs fewer functions. The ipod touch and iphone work because they fit in your pocket and perform functions that you'd expect from something of it's size, something of the "iPad's" (lame name), you'd expect to do more...pity...poor apple...all the hype and now a dud product. :(

I just watched the recorded presentation of the product, and I'm starting to really dislike the presentation methods that Apple employs. They use so much rhetoric and fancy adjectives to describe things that are not that exciting. Even the most hardcore of Apple fans must be able to see through this.
