WOW! Big Congrats, Mike I might a little before I shoot the iPad down. Might be too small for me. I use a small Acer netbook when I'm mobile and even that relatively bigger size gives me problems...but who knows. Please let us know your impressions after some time. Enjoy it in good health. amigo

Been reading some of the news buzz on the iPad. Many are saying sales will be minimal in 2010 but expecting huge sales in 2011.

Rumored sales so far are about 240,000, not counting today. At an average price of 600 dollars that comes out to 144 million dollars. Estimates are all over the place on what the total will be after today. We'll see, I guess. Just for the heck of it, I went to the new Apple store in Scottsdale at about 5 PM today. People were still walking out with the iPads and lots of customers were playing with the displays. Just tonight, I downloaded a new app from ABC that lets you view their TV shows with a couple of clicks. It is buggy, but I was able to watch some current shows, free. Kinda cool.

Keypad is a lot easier to use, especially in landscape mode - keyboard enlarges. Too early to tell on the battery. My wife has a generation one iPhone. Battery life has been fair to good. If you can deal with a less bright screen, turn the brightness down to half or more. My older iPods have batteries that last a REALLY long time. No complaints on any of those. iTouch battery life on second gen. is pretty good.

The above comments are correct. The WiFi iPad is the only model that is available right now. The other models are coming in 2-3 weeks. For my needs the WiFi is perfect. Below Sales Rumor: The Loop reports that Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster has released a report estimating first-day iPad sales in the range of 600,000-700,000, well above his pre-launch estimates of 200,000-300,000. Quote: Piper Jaffray Senior Research Analyst, Gene Munster, on Saturday said he believes Apple sold between 600-700 thousand iPads on the first day. This includes the pre-orders that would have been coming in since March 12. http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=889092
