I'd be interested in its functionality in a school setting. I've heard that it is completely "Apple centric" and can only be used with Apple apps. This seems like it would be really limiting. But --it's so pretty.

I suggest you go see it. It is awesome!I have an iPhone and love it. I have a kindle and have always loved it. I cannot wait for the iPad with 3G! It is supposed to be released this month.I have even purchased a new purse to hold it. I want it very badly. The screen is so crisp. Pages in the ebooks turn quickly and pages are marked easily. I used pages a notebook app and really liked it too. I highly recommmend you go see it in person. We went last Sunday to pick one up for my dad, but they are all sold out. The photo app is incredible and easy to use. Now, here is the thing. Many other companies are also coming out with a similair device. Do you want to wait and see them first?

How do you like it? I would consider this as an alternative to the deluxe Kindle because of the added capabilities but I want someone to tell me if it is worth the $500.00. Would an iTouch be just as cool? Should I just remain a Luddite and use my CD player and the library? Pamela K.
