If Verizon didn't use a frequency that no one else in the world uses, than yes.
I’m sure all those apps won’t adapt to use different screen resolutions. And their UI depends on seeing where your fingers touch.
However, you can get component-out (decent quality analog) for showing videos/movies, photos, presentations and YouTube (iPhone/iPod do that already). So if your 24” screen can be adapted to accept component input (the 3 little round video plugs like a modern TV) then you could at least use it for viewing/presenting media.
And I suspect you can do it even without component: he talked about connecting Keynote to a projector—and that probably means a VGA or DVI cable, which we haven’t yet seen for iPhone/iPod. I’d actually love a VGA cable for my iPhone to connect to projector, so I hope this comes to pass!
But I doubt it will be for apps. I’d like the option, myself, but it wouldn’t make sense most of the time.
If only this had iLife, sd slot, and I could organize photos and music with it and not need another pc to do those things...so close to being perfect.
It is though. It has the same locked OS, no USB ports so can't be used like a computer, same capacity and apps as an iPod touch, no mic or camera like an iPod touch. It has a keyboard stand. That's what you're basing your argument on?
This is a big iPod Touch. Sans iPod portability.
No voting?! What happened? Macrumors already running from iPad?!
I voted negative, yet it didn't registered.
This device makes me hate iTunes even more.
God, I have to stop using my iPhone as a music player now.
But suddenly, the small iPod Touch just got even better priced!

What did I say? The only thing missing would be the optical drive, and you could use an external one.
I like it. but a few things I'm waiting to hear about.
1) Can you use a standard Apple Bluetooth keyboard (and/or mouse) ?
2) Are there any USB/expansion Ports of any kind ? (for isight/camera/wired keyboards/mice/storage/etc.)
3) Anyway to download/store/transfer files ?
4) Any multiTasking ?
5) I'm Sure I'll think of something else.

+1. Jobs has been leading the company towards unexpandable, closed-box, single-app systems for the past 12 years. Remind anyone of something else?
Mac 128k.
Hey, Apple has a sub-$500 computer on the market again
This device could nicely replace 99% of what people I know do with a computer.
Yeah except sync your iPhone, attach an external hard drive, connect a camera or video camera, download a file off the net, multitask, etc.
What are you talking about? Verizon just uses a different algorithm than GSM, called CDMA. Has nothing to do with frequencies , really.

This is the first WOW for me. $29.99/mo unlimited 3G.
Plus very charges I bet to get it up $40 a month.
Not Interested...
No thank you Apple...disappointed by this announcement! I wanted to see an actual Tablet device, not an iPod Touch on steroids!
