The iPad announcement last week created a cacophony of commentary ranging from, “Meh, its just a big iPod touch”, to, “Wow, we’re witnessing the future of computing”. On announcement day I was firmly in the former camp. There appeared to be nothing new aside from the larger screen and a custom Apple SoC inside.

Since then I’ve read a lot of smart commentary on the iPad, which has swayed my opinion quite a bit.
