good move, it would make an almost useless product somewhat useful.

Is the ipad really useless? I really want one, it is just so cool looking, but I cannot think of any reason to have it unless I was on some sort of train ride or something.

depends i suppose on what you want.  i want something to take the place of my dying laptop so i'm looking for something that can: browse (the entire) internet, play my music collection, store my photos, store and open my files (excel and whatnot), ect.   the mere fact that it doesn't have a USB drive but rather the propriety apple connection (meaning it's really hard to get files on/off without a laptop the very thing i'd like to replace) defeats the entire point.  the fact it doesn't browse a good portion of the web (including this site) makes is practically useless to me.

i really want to want a tablet, i just don't want a stupid one.
