iPad - now with wings

So. The interwebz are all aflutter with news (and jokes) of Apple's newest product, the iPad. There seems to be some confusion as to what this thing actually does. Is it a super high-tech feminine hygiene product or is it a supersized iPod? And Steve Jobs declaring the iPad "more intimate than a laptop" only added fuel to the name-bashing flames. I think it's safe to say that no women were involved in the naming of this product.

But, silly name aside, I think I wants one. At first I thought I might wait until the second generation is released (because we all know the Apple peeps are already hatching ideas for iPad 2.0 (now with wings!)), but then, this morning, as I was bouncing back and forth between perusing the interwebz on my netbook and playing Clue on my iPhone (shut up, I like it), I found myself thinking, "gee, it would be nice to be able to do this all on one device and dammit, this netbook screen is small and it does not respond very well when I try to drag icons around the screen with my finger." Oh. Now I need the iPad. So maybe I'll spring for it in a few weeks or maybe I'll just buy myself a shiny 27-inch iMac instead. Because I really do need an iMac, so I should probably spring for that first. Need, people, need. Seriously. I'm using a PC. 'Nuff said.

And here's one last (seriously, I promise already) iPad joke for you:
