I think it looks neat, but not thrilled about no multitasking and shitty phone OS.

I will await future innovations with interest.

I think most people will buy it because its "the next big thing" though its weak points will make anyone that does actual research before their purchase will avoid. Sadly the casual consumer, the one who these drawbacks will hurt the most, will be the most likely ones to buy it

Remember when it was big news when someone found out how to hack their iPhone so that you could apply to different phone carriers? How long until people are modding their Pads?

the sad thing is that by this point the majority of the apple consumer base has been conditioned to the point that they'll drop any amount of money on anything Steve Jobs puts up for sale, utterly convinced of how superior it must be compared to any equivalent technology.

Honestly, I'm seeing mainly disappointment from the Apple community. They see future potential, but otherwise just a rather minor iteration in the product line.

Also; menstruation joke.

There, now nobody has to do it.

Ahahaha what? A touchscreen laptop/iPhone hybrid?
Right off the top of my head:
A backpack with an iMac integrated into it which bluetooths the visual to your screen which now doesn't need to be as thick or heavy.

I'd buy that. Especially if it didn't have to be mac.

Day one? Ugh, I feel really stupid having to type iPad in. Same with any of the other i devices, it's insulting to my intelligence to have that little unnecessary i in front. I thought iPod was stupid, but this has it beat.
