I saw a rumor online that said Google might come out with a tablet soon too. Makes me wonder, was this done to do something good for the stock (i.e. gotta have something every so many quarters,half-year, year, etc)? Or, maybe the Google one is coming out soon and they wanted to beat them to the punch?

I have to agree with Alex, and that I was expecting a "mobile computing platform", something sharing more similarities with the iMac, than the iPhone. Like 7point82 said, a USB would be better and make it non-phone like! Sometimes business seems to always release something without the bells and whistles that will get stuff going, instead "gotta have something so we can pay the bills". Yeah, debt is bad, but if this was more in the middle of an iPhone/iPod Touch and an iMac, it would have gotten a better reception and possibly not have the stock price drop!

Maybe Apple will shrink it so it's the size of a PADD from ST:TNG. That is probably the right size for everyone! Also, if they called it iPADD, the iTampon jokes probably won't have been so prevalent.
