Honest question: what problem does this solve for you?

  I can hand around photos, movies, web pages. This is a common enough use right now with the iPhone I recognize it immediately. The fact that the screen is viewable from wide angles is not a coincidence me thinks.

    That's not a problem. Paint me the picture of when you REALLY wish you could hand around photos, movies, and web pages. 95% of the time, methinks, it's when you are NOT toting around a laptop/tablet (i.e. it's a smartphone problem). I can see the market for road warriors who do demos and/or fly a lot, rich folk who love tech, etc. Other than, "I'd love to have one on my coffee table from time to time", I don't see a draw for most people that'd cause them to cough up $600-$1000. And, for the record, the "it's a computer for non-geeks" argument is pretty weak, IMO. My parents HATE onscreen touch keyboards and print everything.

  The problem I'm hoping it will solve is a great portable pdf reader. If the iPad doesn't solve this problem hopefully something else will and I'll buy that. Of course having bought an iPad (or other tablet) I'll no doubt use other functions, but reading pdf docs is the problem I want solved and whoever solves it the best gets my money.
