I don’t see any difference besides size?

That already has a laptop, tivo, an ipod nano, an ipod fm transmitter, a digital camera, a dvd recorder, a pda, netflix, high speed internet, a wi-fi network, a cell phone and a ps2?

I dont need the phone feature (I have a brand new cell phone) and the mp3 isnt really necessary (I have a mini ipod) but it would be a cool feature to have built in. The one that I’m really considering is the Palm TX. Thoughts on this one?And, the price range should be around 300 or less(The maximum i’ll pay for one is 400 or 450)

I know the iPad isn’t out yet, but I was looking at it on Apple.com and saw the iPod app on it, but I didn’t see any place where you stick the headphones or earplugs or whatever you call them! So can anyone tell me if I can put headphones in it?
Thanks alot!!

I’ve been browsing through Apple’s website this morning and have seen the new iPad. From first sight, it looks exactly like a larger than life version of the iPod touch, and when reading reviews and specs, I have realised that this is what the iPad actually is. However, I can see some serious practical issues with said device, being that it is far too large to fit in the pocket or even a small bag, making walking along the street listening to music impractical and a mugging hazard. It does not do anything more than the average iPod touch or laptop, and for the much-hyped ‘internet surfing’, the user has to be in a location with wifi connection. There is no USB port, ruling it out as a laptop replacement, and to type a long essay, the iPad would have to be laid flat on a table, making the user strain to see the screen, unlike the traditional laptop.

Overall? I would say the iPad is an unnecessary, overhyped gadget with no real use. However, I would be interested in hearing other peoples’ opinions, so leave them below and tell me what you think!
