1. I Have To Admit, You're Right...
I work in the internet and broadcast worlds and the buzz has been intense for the past month. This is a major step in what Bill Gates termed as "conversion"...the integrating of television, telephone and internet (notice I didn't say radio...none included except for Internet radio) that will revolutionize all three. It also uses 4G technology that will open the door to wide spread broadband and wi-fi use and make it affordable for all. The days of your landline and even wireless router are numbered now...this device is the template of a new generation and worthy of all the buzz.

Also...face it, the political world is so toxic these days that millions have tuned out.

11:18 PT - DM: At $499 a lot of people can afford an iPad. $499 for 16GB is the base model. For 32GB it's $100 more, for another $100 you get 64GB of storage. The 3G models cost an extra $130 to build in radios. $629, $729, $829. These are the six models. The most expensive model is just $829. Unbelievable price.

Let's talk about wireless networking. Every iPad has Wi-Fi, but we're also going to have models with 3G cellular wireless data built in as well. Now, what does it cost for the data plans? In the US, telecoms charge about $60 a month for data plans for laptop. We got a real breakthrough here, two awesome plans for iPad owners. First one gives you up to 250MB a month. Most people will get by on that: just $14.99. Unlimited data if you feel you need more, for just $29.99. Breakthrough deal with AT&T. (Yes, it's AT&T people.) And free use of Wi-Fi hotpots all throughout US.
