[DUG] Apple iPad - OT

The distinguishing factor for me over the iPod Touch (or iPhone) is a decent
size screen. That alone makes it worth while for me.

Nope, I've not done the comparison, but the internet browsing ability is
what I'm more interested in this over the standard eBook reader.

Also, for me it is not a laptop replacement at all. I will mostly use to
move around the house and browse the internet. Yes, I can do that with my
laptop, but it will not be as convenient as with this device.

Of course I don't "need" one, but it would be nice to have one :)

What distinguishes this from oversized iTouch that really matters in 
your opinion? Is it really a full laptop replacement? Have you compared 
a tablet screen to an E-Ink screen for reading a book?
