Everyone is talking about the big Apple iPad announcement yesterday. I'm quite underwhelmed.

On the day the iPhone was announced I wanted one. I would've bought it that day if it was available. The iPad - not so much.

The UI in the demos (http://www.apple.com/ipad) looks super cool, but $499 for the entry level device is too much for me to plunk down when I'm not even that excited about it. I won't be waiting in line or hitting the Apple Store online when it's available Day 1.

I think it will be a great book reader, and it will smash the Kindle, but I don't read that much.
