I have to admit, before the launch I was totally psyched into buying an iPad… but I think now I will wait to see what else is on the horizon.

Google’s reported Android tablet?
Something from Dell (yuckie, really)?

Maybe just iPad version 2.

For now, I’ll keep doing my research and watch all the crazies blending and beating theirs up. (Or maybe it’s their friends?)

I am not a drone of the marketing establishment… I will wait. Maybe.

Fuck.

Can’t help it… must show you this…

iPad meets Louisville Slugger

Apple's iPad 2010

I mean, what the hell??!!

A 10gb iTouch is something I can buy already. Not to say it isn’t a great little music and video player, but the hell of it is, I don’t need another one that’s 9.7″ large.

And I don’t need another reason to keep putting money into Apple’s deep pockets. I mean, if I could buy anything and put it into the iPad I might be convinced to get one, but not just to put only Apple designated content into something I own… again.

I was hoping for a tablet that had a webcam (or two, front and back), a lot of hard drive space (maybe a solid state drive?), the real Mac OS X, touchscreen (Ok, it has one) and could do all that I can do now with my little Acer Aspire 1410, or my large 17.3″ HP Pav DV7 like an HDMI output.

Maybe version 2 will come with all I want. Sorry Steve, you just didn’t do all I had hoped for.
