NOPE!
Big yawn here….. I don’t need a giant iPod touch…
No. I have an iPod Touch and it’s very convenient, but if I want a computer device large enough that I need a carrying case for it, then I’ll go with a netbook or laptop (which I already own). The iPad to me just seems like a larger, less convenient, iPod Touch, with a very limited operating system. They say it’s the best web browsing experience you’ve ever had, because you touch the screen instead of click, but how can that be when you can’t even minimize the window and open multiple apps at the same time? I think the iPad, or at least a future variant of it, is the future of portable computing, because I’d much rather use the touch screen than a laptop touch pad, and the weight and thickness of a keyboard would be gone, but as it is now it’s too limited to replace my netbook or laptop.
