Thanks for stopping by and making a comment Jamie. I have the same issues as you with the iPad, but I’m cautious about extrapolating out my own thoughts into an assessment of what the overall market will do – I already know that I’m an outlier in a lot of ways!

One of the better iPad discussions. I agree, we don’t know if it will take off or not. The user experience will be key, but for doing what?

I was hoping for a really sexy device that could replace the heavy laptop (and the netbook I’ve so far avoided buying) and Kindle on my daily commute by train and frequent business trips. Without ever having touched the actual device I’m skeptical on both counts. The screen technology is not optimized for reading, particularly in sunny locations (i.e., my favorite chair at home, window seats on the train, coffee shops, airport lobbies, …). And the lack of a real keyboard leaves us with the same, not very good, input options of the iPhone.

What’s the point of me writing a 500 word post if you can just say it in 14 words Matt? I think you’re right though – and the thing that we don’t really know yet is how iBook will work. For me, that’s the critical question.

As I said in an tweet a couple of days ago: iPod is to iTunes as iPhone is to AppStore as iPad is to iBook. That explains it for me.

I agree Gavin – and I think your last point is correct. The usability issues are really the only ones that we’re in a position to evaluate right now. It’s the value network that will determine the ease of buying & reading books, for example. And several of the reports that I’ve read from people that have seen early demo versions is that it is harder to read on the iPad than on your Kindle – so I’ll be interested to see how that plays out.

Personally, the problem that I’ve got is that input on this doesn’t appear to be any faster than on an iPhone. Since that’s my main problem with the phone as a computer, this doesn’t address that. But then, I’m just one guy & I’m not sure how widespread that sentiment will be…
