Actually considering buying two

I can't help it. I heard the announcement of Apple's iPad on NPR this afternoon and when I see it I hear this song play in my head:

I love it! I love it! I love it!
And where it goes I'll follow! I'll follow! I'll follow!
I will follow it. Follow it wherever it may go!
There isn't a price tag too steep, a waiting list too long to keep, keep me away!

Should this be a belated Valentine's day gift to each other? An early birthday gift? What say you, Internet?

Sounds cool and all... but I'm just not sure I can get past the name. Come on--is there not one single woman who works at that Apple company?! (Oh, and definitely belated Valentine's Day gift.)

It's already decided at our house...please put two in our cart! We are bonifide Macophiles. I don't care if it'd been named iTampax, me needs one!

"There isn't a price tag too steep"

Amber, you read my mind. My sick, sick mind.

I heard a rumor they're priced around $1k. If it really is $750 to fix a 1.5 year-old-laptop, well . . . .

You *must* buy one (or two!) because I so want to see it in action (it's not the same playing with one at a store). There's no way I'm talking D into our need for one, so I'm not even going to try.

@Amber - I'm with you on the name. Ugh.

I'm interested in knowing... what was it about the iPad that made it a must-have for you, when everyone else is railing away at how awful it seems?

We've been sans internet a couple of days so I'm late on this, but I vote Valentines day....then you still get birthday too! :)

OK -- I'm horrified that the McHeads have lathered themselves up "because it doesn't cost 1000$!" Woot?

ONLY 500 beans a throw for this, this, inert thingie:
