Apple I-Pad_Boom or Bust

Unless you did not notice Apple launched its much awaited I-Pad yesterday in San Francisco. As with all new Apple releases from a design and business perspective it's worth paying a little attention.

The debate lingers over where it fits in the current marketplace and what is the Apple strategy? Is it just another gadget, is it filling a void in the marketplace, is it a stepping stone to something else?

I have read several reviews and honestly I am still a little confused but I welcome your comments and ideas.
