Judging by the feedback here, the lack of a built-in web-cam seems like a serious omission. Skyping with the kids would be just as important as web-surfing and e-mail, as far as I am concerned. Video-Skype capability would make the iPad a no-brainer. Now it's just going to be a useful, but far from perfect device.

Bah, Escher is an ingrate mal-content. But damn it! I'm a modern-day consumer! Don't live in the stone-age.

I've been waiting for a true sub-PowerBook for more than 10 years. The 11-inch MacBook Air finally delivers on all counts! It beats the hell out of both my PowerBook 2400c and my 12-inch PowerBook G4 -- no contest whatsoever.
