Honestly I think its just a big iPod touch. I'm a gamer, and a mobile gamer, therefore I love the iPod touch.
But it aint niche. Apple is already cannibalizing the iPod line with the iPhone. The iPad should further cannibalize that line, their netbook line, their notebook line, their desktop line. Also, correct me if I'm wrong about this, but rumor has it Apple sells servers? Honestly the Magic Fun Pad does do virtually every task. Now so does my Droid, which is a significantly better device. But the iPad has awesome peripherals, and arguably the best screen ever made. Thats like all it is, a big screen mobile device. My plan is to write an App for my Droid, so I can use my iPad as a monitor. I don't think I want to put the app up on the Android market. I recently realized how big a favor a developer is doing a market place when it choose to submit it's apps there. I guess if I can get that working on my iPod touch then Apple has gauranteed it will work on the iPad. Have yall been to www.apple.com yet? It changed 3 times yesterday. I haven't been yet today.
