as a music/video control device: dopeas a way to lounge around my apartment and read shit or watch videos or cue up music on airport express: dopeas a thing that can hook into my wireless network and maybe control stuff in my house or w/e in a futuristic style: dopeas a way to manipulate data in any meaningful way (including, say, writing anything longer than a few paragraphs): ~barf~
i'm fine with it being an adjunct, but if this costs $999 that is just gonna be fucking rude

yeah the price will determine whether this is a useful device. if they are going to take away my freedom to actually manipulate files and data, they should not be charging $999

So, over/under on "Hitler is underwhelmed by iPad" YouTube appearing before noon PST?
How the hell are you supposed to play games on this thing? Look at the thickness of the border - you're not going to be able to hold it like an iPhone and still reach the controls for, say, Chinatown Wars, are you? Not keen on the tought of cradling it in one arm and typing with the other if I'm standing up, either.

HOOS it's because instead of keeping Remembrance of Things Past on your bookshelf but never actually reading it, you can now carry it around on your iPad and never actually read it.

Apple uses the ePub format, which means it’s open, and which might mean you can import your own ePub books (maybe?).

I am just astonished that Apple spent forever on this and its a kindle-sized iphone. NOT A GAME CHANGER.
I think this is worth about $299-$499... but would not be surprised if Apple goes with something like $899... I wouldn't pay that, though.
