Figure since it's somewhere in between and new, has anybody gotten their hands on one? Interested to hear anything about it and how it compares to other tablets.

If you are talking hardware, you can . But when it comes to , there are basically three user interface camps at war. On one side there are the people who think that a traditional GUI—one built on windows, folders and the old desktop metaphor—is the only way to go for a tablet. You know, like with the Microsoft Windows-based tablets, and the new crop of touchscreen laptops.
In another camp, there are the ones who are dreaming about and other experimental stuff, thinking that Apple would come up with a wondrous new interface that nobody can imagine now, one that will bring universal love, world peace and pancakes for everyone—even while Apple and thousands of experts have explored every UI option imaginable for decades.
And then there's the third camp, in which I have pitched my tent, who says that the interface will just be an evolution of an existing user interface, one without folders and windows, but with applications that take over the entire screen. A "modal" user interface that has been proven in the market battlefield, and that has brought a new form of computing to every normal, non-computer-expert consumer.
Yes, people, I'm afraid that the tablet will just run a sightly modified version of the iPhone OS user interface. And you should be quite happy about it, as it's the culmination of a brilliant idea. I don't have one but my friend does :P

So is it like a big iPhone or a small computer?

I'll admit I've not really paid much attention to the hype, but I can't quite figure out the point of it.

The only thing that makes the Magic Piano better is when a cat plays with it. :)

Oh, and take a look at the HP Slate, the Dell Streak or the Looking Glass.

Hackers have finally started hitting Apples as well. The Ipad got hit already. I wonder if those "holy-er than thou" Mac types that always tsk tsk at us for all the virus's that are out for Windows, are scrambling for antivirus now. I think they don't realize that the reason they don't get hit much is the pathetic market share Mac has with software. Remember the last time you went to a store that sold software? How big was the Mac section (if it even existed) compared to the PC section? A lot of the "Mac-ies" I have met brag about not having to use virus protection software at all.....we shall see now.
