Not me.
Neither do you if you already have an iPhone and a MacBook.

@jhkoning Elliot took the words out of my mouth (with regards to the #iPad) http://bit.ly/aYxiNk saves me having to write a post!

But the more I think about it, the more it seems to me that a glaring omission has to be a camera – a front facing one. I mean – seriously, where is it?
Even the iPhone has a camera.
That feature would probably have sold it for me. I can imagine using a device such as the iPad – for Skype – that would be impressive. It would have been a point of difference and could have given those of us with an iPhone/MacBook combo a reason to grab one.
But then again, I don’t think we are Apple’s target market with this.
Don’t get me wrong, it looks beautiful, will no doubt be very polished and work flawlessly.
It’ll sell truckloads.
I just wish Apple had pushed the envelope a little more.
Maybe the next gen model might have some killer feature that will convince me otherwise.
Until then, I’ll be waiting for iPhone 4.
My 3G is getting a little rough around the edges, and despite my desire to own every Apple product on the market, my common sense and bank balance forbid it…

A quick update and another view.

@rob_sheridan I was reading the umpteenth article complaining about iPad, and left my thoughts on why I think it will succeed: http://bit.ly/cvFEO5

Ok, well this weekend I had the above issue, which was a little disconcerting considering my MacBook is only a few months old. I tried everything – even Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) as outlined on Apple’s support site.
Still – no go.
However, I did overcome the problem.
Briefly – the way I cured it was to turn the Macbook on (it was plugged in to mains power at this point) still the LED on the MagSafe displayed as green & the battery menu stated that it was not charging.
So, I unplugged it (whilst it was still on) then plugged it in again – and hey presto – the battery was once again charging as it should.
I have no idea whether or not this has been mentioned before anywhere (on my initial Google of the issue, I didn’t come across it) so hopefully this may help someone out.
