Plenty of speculation… a habit, it seems. Even though it is now announced, people STILL can’t get the facts right. So here it is:
I pity the fool who doesn't get an iPad!
1) bluetooth means keyboard, and wireless at that.
2) iPod cord to USB means you CAN use USB to get in and out of it.
3) AT&T deal is for $15 a month or $30 a month for unlimited data — which should include VoIP, so you can use your Bluetooth headset to make calls or listen to music too — and unlike last time, no contract required.

4) Great resolution in native mode. Could be a bit icky when running iPhone apps til they make resolutions for the bigger screen, since it runs those thousands of apps already.
In short, the iPad can do most everything one needs a portable device for, and will make map services a LOT easier to see and read.
5) Camera is a $30 external option.
Overall, you’ll find that things work out just fine. What isn’t available from Apple will be gotten aftermarket… and then there’s always V2. For my part, I’ll probably wait to get one second-hand or after the prices drop, but I will want one some day soon!
