I'm sure the majority bought it because they simply wanted one?

Apple products are way overpriced and unjustified.

As what someone said earlier, it would be interesting to see how many people bought it, and then bought it back... :rolleyes:

Obviously not everyone bought it to take it back, and yeah Apple are stupidly overpriced, though they make quality products.

Wanted one that they could leave on the coffee table to impress people with when visitors come round?

Wanted one so that they could say "I own an iPad"?

One market I can see for this is old grannies that can't read an iPod screen. lol.

Not flash! But in all seriousness the higher screen resolution would appeal to me if not for the existance of wvga HTC smartphones. Why not go buy one and find out. I can see that its very easy for most people in this thread to moan about the ipad but really, most of you are primarily Microsoft men and have never used ipads before anyway!

I was not aware that you possessed the ability to read minds of a million Americans who bought this!

Isn't the resolution of the iPad 1024x768? PAH, that'll be in your HTC Android handset by next year.

I'm depending on it. I just bought a Nexus One several weeks ago and have been on Android since release.
