Quick Impression of iPad

Well, it’s called the iPad, and from what I’ve seen so far, it’s less than stellar. It appears to be nothing more than a big iPhone; which to me, is a disappointment and a missed opportunity by Apple to do something even greater. Now, I may be a bit harsh in my initial judgement, but to me it doesn’t seem to fill the niche that the netbooks try to with portable computing. From a development point of view, this could be interesting, since you can probably do more with a larger iPhone, which will address the limited screen size of the iPhone. I can see some interesting apps pop up, and I’ll probably still plunk money down to buy one; if only to attempt to develop for. I paid alot to learn Objective-C and iPhone development, so I figure I might as well get in early on this. I hope I’m wrong and this thing revolutionizes slate computing.
