Across the blogosphere, millions watched with bated breath today as Apple unveiled their latest — the obviously (yet unfortunately) named iPad — to a crowd who seemed to be enthusiastic and yet instantly critical of the ~10″ tablet.
Gorgeous UI, large vivid screen, the ability to run existing iPhone apps, and a new iBook store are huge selling points for some. The absence of a camera and multi-tasking are among the possible deal-breakers for others. Not immediately obvious are exactly who the iPad’s intended customers might be — other than users who don’t mind carrying yet another device.

I’m calling it “giant iPod touch”.
For those of us that use the iPhone as an always-connected pocket computer instead of a phone (for me, since the Nexus One is my phone), an iPod Touch with Mifi gives us most of what the iPhone would be used for. The iPad is right up that alley with Wifi + 3G, and the 3G is unlocked, though only on AT&T bands in the US. Looks quite interesting.
