It bores me. 64GB is not enough for any serious number of lossless CDs and I don't think it can stream wireless to my stereo.

It was "video kills the radio star" and now Jobs takes a 2nd stab at that by pushing low quality music onto our ears.

Ah, you beat my by seconds! 😜

The iPad is a half-inch thick, weighs 1.5 pounds, and has a 9.7-inch LCD screen. It's run by a custom-made 1GHz CPU, and comes with 16, 32, or 64GB of flash storage. For connectivity, it has 802.11n, WiFi, and Bluetooth 2.1. Jobs claimed it will get up to 10 hours of battery life.

In addition to the built-in Apple apps, the iPad will also run third-party software. Senior Vice President Scott Forstall said that the tablet will run most existing iPhone apps unmodified, right out of the box. Those apps can run at their existing size in a black box or can be doubled to run in full-screen mode. Apple is also making a software development kit available to developers, to help create apps specifically for the new device.

Oh, come on. Be fair. I highly doubt playing or streaming music is the killer app for the pad. It's so much, much more. Besides that, who would want to pay the price for 256 or 512 GB flash in the mass market today? If anything even slightly near to the abilities of the pad would be introduced by Struer the servers of beoworld would collapse under the tons of cheering posts. Not that the Danes are able to...

Yup!

And I can't wait to order one!!!

this will be my new remote etc etc

In my dream B&O will do a app that can pilot all my B&O gears with Ipad😎

Hurrah - a giant iPod Touch........just what I needed.

iPad = What the Beosound 5 should have been, with a Beomaster 5 a'la Mac Mini hidden somewhere.

B&O won't do it, because they can't... Keith might make one!
