ignore my previous comment altogether, I finally got a chance to play with one at a best buy and was flat out BLOWN away by its sheer speed. I instantly began to justify buying one right then and there but still couldn't pull the trigger. I will hold out for the 2nd gen. as I got royally screwed getting the 1st gen ipod touch (no speaker or exterior volume control). Anyway, I will def. be getting this as the next laptop and will keep a laptop around as its sidekick and for itunes. Also on a side note, after using my iphone 3gs for a week or so, I honestly haven't run into the flash video issue enough to induce anger whatsoever, at least not nearly as much as I thought it would. Most videos I didn't think would play go right into quicktime, which I imagine would do the same on the ipad.
