Oh look! They made the wireless service (3G) *OPTIONAL*. And some people around these forums said it would make it all bulky and un-doable. How wonderful that SOMEONE figured it out.

Not if the user experience sucks :P
Before you can kill the iPad you'll need to get all of the usability and infrastructure in place. That said, slick hardware. I wonder if they'll be anywhere near as open as Nokia with the software.

sadly, thats corporate "nature" as far as i can tell. The whole economic system seems to revolve around finding something to separate the corporate product from any other, and then build thick walls against both customers leaving and competitors producing similar products. All in all, corporations are in some ways "communist".

Heh, being 'completely open' in the ultra competitive mobile market is unimaginable. It's like playing chess while you keep telling your opponent 5-6 of your next steps which you can't change your mind on.
