Students are going to love this thing. I mean, teenage boys probably won't like it since their parents are going to choose to buy this for $500 instead of a $3000 laptop that will let them play games in class instead of taking notes... but this will potentially be a post-secondary goldmine for Apple.

Edit: Whoops, that was kind of a brainless moment. There are lots of games for the iPad already, and there's only going to be more now... But I think people get my point.
That was my thinking as well. I wish they had these back when I was a student. Instead of spending 2000 on a Performa 6300 (something like that), all I would have neeed was this - and I could have taken it to class to take notes.
