The iPod is a portable media player designed and marketed by Apple and launched on October 23, 2001. The product line-up includes the hard drive-based iPod Classic, the touchscreen iPod Touch, the video-capable iPod Nano, and the compact iPod Shuffle. The iPhone can function as an iPod but is generally treated as a separate product. Former iPod models include the iPod Mini and the spin-off iPod Photo (since reintegrated into the main iPod Classic line). iPod Classic models store media on an internal hard drive, while all other models use flash memory to enable their smaller size (the discontinued Mini used a Microdrive miniature hard drive). As with many other digital music players, iPods can also serve as external data storage devices. Storage capacity varies by model, ranging from 2GB for the iPod Shuffle to 160GB for the iPod Classic.more...

The Ipad is here! Is it a big iTouch, or the next mass media platform? It runs the standard iPhone OS, with full support for all existing apps - and a big developer ecosystem already. At 9 base price, it may be a real winner as a consumer product. Particularly versus the Kindle and Nook, it's hard to see how it won't come out ahead. Versus netbooks, it will be interesting to see how the lack of keyboard effects sales. With a huge installed iPhone base, many people are already comfortable with screen typing, and the iTunes app store experience.
As a book reader, it will be a winner. In terms of other applications, it will depend on the skills and creative talent of the development team.
