It's common knowledge early adopters get screwed.

And if someone is stupid enough to buy an iPod without seeing the bajliion other models, buying an iPhone and seeing the two other models, or iAnything and not knowing that Apple constantly releases revisions then it's their own dumb fault.
Also, I'd love to see a gaming laptop for $830. Sure, I could buy a netbook that could run Torchlight for a few hundred dollars, but I wouldn't call that a gaming laptop. I would call a gaming laptop that could run any given Steam game on high settings well.

Just to make things clear, I also believe the iPad is a pretty bad deal.
- lol no multitasking
- no widescreen
- no flash
- $130 extra for 3G plus a monthly charge when you're likely to never even use the 3G
- Can't do half the things a netbook can do
- No external memory or USB
- no HD output
- no streaming from/to other PC's, Macs, or iTunes
It's sad because it had so much potential just yesterday and then they announce that. I don't even care that it's just a suped up iPhone, if it fixed those above things I would probably love it and want one. I could totally see myself sitting on the couch enjoying the internet on that.
