Initially, I didn't get it either. While I'm not of retirement age (not quite) I think it's a generational issue. As pointed out above, it's not a laptop, and not intended to be. It's not a telephone and not intended to be, thus no camera. One of my employees commented that he can't wait to buy one and curl up on his sofa with a good book. He's an avid online reader watching podcasts, getting his news, researching, etc. An iPad makes perfect sense for him. Another of my employees bought one to take into court with him. He can hit our website and perform anything from the courtroom that he could do from his desk, yet not as obtrusive as a laptop, lighter weight, and battery designed to last longer (only time will tell if they do). I think it will work very well for him too.
I'm dyslexic; don't read much. I have no plans to buy one, but I can understand the appeal to many others. If I was still active in the courtroom, I would be seriously considering one.
