Hey guys…. comedian Steven Colbert has just shown off his iPad at the Grammys Awards. Brilliant product placement on Apple's part, methinks.

If the 2nd generation iPad incorporates just a few things… the iPad could be ascendant by 2011. Here's hoping that Apple will listen to the feedback of its customers, adding things like an SD card slot, a video-conferencing camera (like in the iMac), and true multi-tasking should hopefully be available when iPhone OS 4.0 is released. A minimum of one USB slot would be nice too.

No, and there's no ability to add it. The 3G model has a tray that lets you put in a GSM microSIM card, the Wi-Fi only model lacks this functionality.

I would rather have this device than a netbook. Sometimes I would like something like an iPod Touch but with a bigger screen. I like it better than a MacBook Air. This is the ultimate netbook!

Price is much lower than I thought. I'll consider buying one after my tax rebate this April.

I'll be buying the $499 model. I LOVE the idea of 3G per month, but I'm hoping they'll be adding that to a future version of the iPod Touch. I'd definitely bite on that one.

Does the WiFi only model not have GPS at all?

Was there any mention of international availability? Here in OZ we might like this. Although I am not completely sold on this yet, I can't really see where it fits with my iPhone and my 13 inch MacBook Pro… Do I need a device which is looks like the love child of my iPhone and MBP? Probably.
