It is expensive with the current feature set and will likely have to drop below $300 to become common place but for music control surface applications it's 25% the cost of a Lemur and is more functional since it is programmable http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/442113-REG/Jazz_Mutant_LEMUR_Lemur_Control_Surface.html http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/442113-REG/Jazz_Mutant... For most uses I doubt you will need any attachments, with the exception of the case. My irritation with the opinion expressed in the article and the general content consumption opinion is that the judgments are based on currently available software and hardware configuration and trying to use it like a laptop or phone. It is neither and will likely have new uses and assume some uses of these devices. Dismissing it after only a little more than a week seems unthoughtful and short sighted. If you are interested in investigating applications for the new form factor the iPad will likely be the only game in town for a year or so and I would buy one. If you are looking to use it for something other than a toy I doubt I would buy it. It could be another few years before similar devices actually catch on with then obvious uses or it could fail and your money and time are wasted.
