By surprise? Not sure I indicated it caught us by surprise. I'm sure the fan boys will love this, but why it even needed an announcement for being nothing but a big, goofy IPod Touch that is "what everyone has said it would be for the past two years or so" is beyond a number of us. Honestly I was hoping it would be a bit larger by a couple of inches with a faster processor. iPad sounds like a merger between Kotex and Apple, kind of fitting. Wonder if they have settled the trademark dispute with Fujitsu over the name.
