Apple Releases the ipad- would you buy one?

So the ipad is here (watch part of the keynote below).  So its a tablet PC or maybe just a large ipod touch or iphone. The keynote addresses that Apple is not interested in making a netbook that netbooks are just slow cheap laptops.  Hm.  Netbooks are portable, light, fast at what they should be used for and yes inexpensive.  I am not sure about Steve’s assumption that netbooks are not hear to stay.  Lets talk the positive:

1. It looks like a really neat device
2. I am excited by Apple’s choice to make a high powered device in the sub $500.
3. Takes multitouch to a new space
4. ereader + web

The not so positive:

1. iphone OS instead of full OS X
2. no multitasking
3. no flash support
4. no camera would have been a great start to video phones

Apple has knocked their laptops and iphone out of the park will the ipad live up to its brothers?  Time will tell.  The real question is, would you buy one?

Amazon kindle ereader for 250 or this for 500?

Netbook for 500 vs ipad for 500?
