Nokia (with Symbian OS) may be a smartphone in name but not in the true sense that the iPhone & Android provides. Also the Android "knockoffs" are already available before the IPad is even released this weekend. So for iPad "value" of its low price of $500 you can get right now the Archos 9 tablet with Android and the same resolution but also supports Flash, multitasking, a camera, real I/O ports, & a larger HD. Thus leading to my previous statement that Apple doesn't have the headstart it had with the iPhone - at the very least parsing it to say in the US. Kev,

Hell, you make me smile, re writing history to suit yourself! I know some of you Yanks think the world stops at your borders, but there is a company called Nokia who had, and still have a HUGE lead and head start in smartphones. Apple came along and changed the game. You Android fanboys are WORSE than iPhone ones, you know full well you would not even have any phones to crow about today if it were not for the innovation Apple brings. Same goes for Tablet's, iPad will make a market for all your Android knock offs to take advantage of! As for Apple Tax on a $499 device like this, get real, learn the VALUE of things and try to forget the PRICE of things, they are different things you know!

Give it a rest Apple nobody with any sense wants to give up individuality for an ipad, at least I don't.
