Same, but after v1, because right now my bulk cash amounts are going into my custom made PC...
i am sure when apple updates their site, it will have a place to pre-order.
I would be interested in the wifi one. Maybe get a package Comcast "to go deal", ala Clear. Also, I am wondering how long, once it is out, that the dev team will JB this device to allow for tethering? If i can tether, just like the iPhone, no point for 3G one. AT&T already has hosed everyone for so long, now they get another exclusive to do the same? No thanks.

The bezel doesn't bother me. I wouldn't want the entire face to be screen.
The design looks fine to me.
I was hoping for a 128GB model.
The pricing is good. I will go with a wi-fi only version. If I have to use 3G, I'll use my iPhone.
For a first-gen model, I'm impressed.

iXXL-Touch sucks
- another way to make us pay monthly, let's be real, the device isn't that useful if no 3G subscription.
- no flash, what the hell srsly
- iPhone OS, clearly the biggest failing point
- ship in 60~90 days, that's nice, we'll forget about it by then
it might has some nice gimmick features about it, but i am pretty pretty damn sure people won't rush to buy this product.
this is the definite more hype than technology built into the product, gg apple.

AT&T - no good! Please prepare for service unavailable, service interruption, slow service, dropped connection, etc.
I'm waiting for v2. For me, it's a pass so far. We'll see what they come up with in a year - this is a poor first try.

It is also a steal at $529 for 3G since if you want your HP or Dell laptop to have a 3G modem in them, it's $130 with HP and ~$100 with Dell... Apple did do their homework on this one.
- You dont' have pay a monthly fee as the data is a NO contract deal. Pay for a month, stop the service when you want.
- flash probably won't happen until it eats less CPU and battery, not to mention enables people to use web based content vs iTunes.
- Ya iPhone OS, what a huge failure, no one buys that stupid OS on a device. Ok fine maybe the 75 million people with iPhones, but other than that.. NO ONE.
- Ya 60 to 90 days, wow, people will forget about a device that has been hyped for years. Such a long time.
If your "pretty damn sure people won't buy it", I'm willing to bet the exact opposite. The average consumer of Apple products and at $499 ebook/netbook crowd will be lined up for miles waiting to purchase the iPad.
So many tech blog and forums users need to wake up to the fact they are the minority, the small, but vocal group of users that while Apple can stand to lose sales too. They clearly know what they are doing and based on the information in todays Keynote are the largest mobile device company (by revenue) in the world.
Not only will it SELL, it will be HUGE. I can see 10 million in 2010 easy. IF that is what you all consider a failed product lol, then uhh ya guess it is.
