Re: Still waiting...

I agree... this 'would' be a great device, IMO, however, its too stripped down to be really useful besides basic browsing/iTunes/reading.

It needs:
- Flash (not likely, unless it had OS X)
- Multitasking (OS X like)
- Java

This is more of a niche/toy as is, made for the iTunes app store, but as a device, it just needs to be more flexible.

People are speculating that the iPad does indeed have a webcam. Also, what do you need USB for that you'd carry the dongle everywhere?

I'm hearing rumblings that multitasking will actually show up when the device is released. Java and Flash, fat chance. Who uses Java anyway other than as a mobile app platform (Apple has the App store) or for a very few web apps? Flash is a bigger deal, but Apple is never going to let Flash in its current incarnation onto an iPhone OS product.

Re: Still waiting...

I suspect the A4 chip is too anemic to do any of the above.
