It's not for you, fine. Truthfully it's not for me either. I could, theoretically, move almost all of my computing over to one but I'd rather have the versatility of a laptop combined with my iPhone and Kindle for everything...

Apple's stock always goes down after a keynote. As far as the iPad goes: your current applications will work on it without a problem unless they take advantage of iPhone specific hardware such as the camera or the, well, phone. There...
