I actually get excited thinking about someone on the c-train, whipping out his iPurse, opening it up, and getting cut by thousands of iShard's from the iPad.

Steve Job's is a dark lord of sith.
Come on, I'm obviously no fan of Apple and yet I know for certain that this thing has major appeal and is a game changer in terms of casual computing and the portable enjoyment of media. It's basically what people have been predicting for years as a flat device that lets you enjoy knowledge and content easily.

Most people carry iphones in their pockets and purses and you don't have much screen breakage. People are going to treat these pricey things like their babies.
