I'll probably get one, but I can't help but be a little disappointed.

I was really hoping for more pc functionality. It's great that it runs the existing apps but unless some of the apps (Facebook) make some major changes so that users get access to some of the features not currently available (games), they're still just semi crappy apps on a bigger scale.

I also want to be able to read/edit/compose documents, spreadsheets, etc.

I hate carrying things with me as it is. I think carrying my iPhone is enough thanks

Oh, and my iPhone fits in my jeans pocket!

I want it and hell yeah I'm getting one. Luckily I started saving money when the rumors started swirling since I figured if it pans out I'll buy it if not I'll buy a 3Gs. So I've got my cash ready and waiting, it solves all the things I wished were better on my iPhone except the ability to be in multiple apps or atleast to get back to an open app when finished with one. The keyboard is bigger so typing with it should be sweet, browsing the web should be easier than my netbook and about the same size and weight.

I am certainly getting one.

However, unless I can use it as an access point, I will not be getting the AT&T 3G. If I can, then it will save me about $30/mo. Otherwise I will continue to use my Verizon MiFi. May go ahead and get the adapter and decide later when to sign up for service. The ability to sign up on a month by month basis is a good deal.

I love the UI and the new apps. At the price, I will probably buy the iWorks apps.

I am also interested in whether or not it will run Skype or TruPhone.

Note no camera. No SD. No external storage, No replaceable battery.

There is no price on the web site for the KB dock.

Another proprietary power supply.

Air Sharing Pro, DropBox, Ignition, and Air Mouse will really be cool on this device.

I might get one. I t had some very compelling things for me. Keynote with the ability to run a Projector! No need for my Laptop anymore.

I will give it a few months on the Market to see exactly what it will do before I jump in. Plus I want to see what 4.0 brings first.
