Apple iPad - is it Really Hot?

The Apple iPad gadget was launched by Steve Jobs last January 27. Just like any other new product of Apple, it was the hot topic for the whole day and still is. But this time it was a little different, some find it a joke saying "it looks like the bigger version of iPod touch, why would I buy that if i have a touch". Anyway it is still an awesome product by Apple but in my opinion it will not going to be a hit.
