Can you use iTouch apps for it? Because I don't see how that would work, tilting it and such...

This seem like it was their intention. I heard they they were launching an apple ebook store. I think they may have tried to revolutionize the market with a device that is a book reader+ other things like they have with their other iStuff. The problem is that ebook readers have a very small appeal (as opposed to music and phone devices) so there probably won't be an amazing reception for this product. The kindle is still better as a ebook reader because its battery life is about 1 week whereas the iTab lasts less than a day. Not to mention that the kindle is only around 200 dollars.
but this has more features than a ebook reader. it should cost more.

To use it you have to pay a monthly data plan. Whats the point of using a 3g network on a big iTouch?

Fair enough, but should it cost more than twice as much as an iTouch that functions the same way?

Really? I didn't know that. Then it is extremely...Apple. Amazing.....ly expensive. Get a Kindle(much better than this could possibly be) and get an iTouch if you want. $200 + $200=less than this will cost.

There's no contract. Do some research.

Yes, you can, either stretch them to the new screen size or play them shrunken to 320x480.

on the ipad there is no contract 3G. On the iphone you have a data plan
So you are saying that you don't have to pay data plan fees? You should tell Steve Jobs that http://www.slashgear.com/ipad-3g-data-plan-the-real-star-of-apples-show-2771723/

My dad is thinking of getting an iPad. I already have an iTouch, which has 4 full pages of apps, so I won't be getting any games on an iPad. I would use my iPad as a Mac or something. Also, I would get movies on it, like Star Trek.

Also about that +500. You should really teach your brain to look at every 99, and add 1 and regroup. And it says "Starting at 499". Really.... And a laptop is just about that same price. Just you actually have to look for good deals, as long as you don't necessarily look for the shiniest thing there is. Sometimes it can be $200, if you're going to the store on Black Friday. And if you're saying "Who cares for a Laptop", or just plainly "Laptops are too big to fit in your pocket", then... you have issues. Laptops have lots more capabilities than any of those "phones".
Google>Microsoft>Hobo on the Street with no money and is dumb>AppleI never said any of that stuff. Gawl, learn to read the whole passage.
Starting at $499....so you COULD get it for $499........I never said I don't like laptops. I'd rather have a Macbook than a iPad. And Black Friday is deadly.
Apple has laptops. And don't make fun of hobos. Just because people aren't rich doesn't mean they are dumb and bad.What do you mean? That was a direct quote. I did read the rest of your message though. And do say gawl. Its wierd, and nobody else understands it. Although the sentence make sense if you replace the l with d. Black Friday is awesome! Its like a camping trip.... on the street! *awesomeness*. I know my mom hates Black Friday because she used to be in that big iron wall or whatever you call it (that event in europe), and she had to be in LONG lines to get food, so she has bad memories, so she doesn't like to go through waiting... But you're still a kid, so that's not the story for you, 110% sure. Well duh, Apple has laptops. I'm not stupid... And I just put those adjectives of a hobo because A) They are generally true, B) So you don't say "What if its a smart rich hobo that used to work for Apple" Lawlz.
What do you have against hoboes?
Anyway, hoboes can't be rich, or they wouldn't be living on the street.
Most hoboes aren't that smart, though... But I bet some are.

You can't use an iPad as a mac because its not a computer. It does exactly the same thing as the itouch.

Well, the same point there is for having a 3G network on a laptop.

1.)Don't insult mah lingo! I used to say "gar........"you know, the fish?
2.)My dad had a horrible experience with it.
3.) Kenny is insulted by your act against hobos.

I prefer the Hewlett-Packard (HP) Slate PC. At least thats an actual full-blown computer in a tablet form.
The iPad will sell well, though, but mainly because it carries the Apple logo. Pitty... We shouldn't support "copy-pastes" like this. :S
