Yes, I watched the Apple event (live via a rogue UStream feed), and I totally get everyone's initial disappointment. And yes, there are a ton of things that the iPad doesn't do; I get it. Really. Remember that this is Apple, they pay attention to details, and what they didn't put into the iPad (camera, multitasking, etc.) speaks just as loudly as what they did put into it. That said, and with one pic, here's why it'll rock:

This is just music. Now think of healthcare, insurance, hospitality, restaurants, EDUCATION... the list goes on. And, the MLB app shown during the presentation is just barely scratching the surface of the new generation of experiences that will be available on the iPad. Finally, a true tablet, but what's more, a platform: a full-sized device with an OS built to intelligently handle multi-touch input, with a purpose-built, (based on reports) super-fast processor, and full connectivity. Is it everything I had hoped it would be? No. Will I be buying one? Well, my Kindle DX is for sale on eBay. Just sayin'.

Update 2/1/10: My Kindle DX has been sold.

Update 2/7/10: iPads already popular with physicians
