I'm not going to buy an iPad, it's not the device for me, but it may change the way I think about user interface design. This is an option now. This is something I'll think about. Is there something different and better I could do on iPad? I've had a couple game ideas rattling around in my brain and in toy programs since college, and now when I think about them half of the fun is imagining the iPad interface.
I want a book reader - for $100 with $5 books, not $250 with $10 books or $500 with $15 books.
I want a image-backed graphics tablet - I like to draw but not seriously enough for the $900+ things.
I want something super-light to take everywhere, but I still think the full sized hard keyboard of my laptop is going to be key for the kind of creating I'd want to do on the go in random places.
I want it, but not $500 worth, but it's out there and it makes me think.
