I am not impressed.<p>I was really hoping that Apple would come up with a compelling <i>need</i> for the tablet, but the demos they showed were, in my opinion, unimaginative.  Tablets have been around forever as solutions looking for a problem; the iPad does not rectify that situation.<p>The iPhone has been successful to a great extent because, well, people need cell phones anyway, so why not get a cool one?  People don't need a tablet computer.  People aren't looking to replace their existing tablet computers.<p>I hope I'm wrong.  I hope that somebody figures out a really good reason for having a tablet computer.  But I've owned a tablet in the past (Motion M1400), and I don't see it happening.
