Magical? Sure. Revolutionary? It's a giant iPod touch.

If this thing does sell, coupling it with 29.95/unlimited 3G on AT&T should do wonders for the network.



Yeah, ATT is already overloaded. Offering unlimited access so cheaply will bog it down even more. I hope AT&T will be beefing up their network over the next few months.


(relatively) no-one in America is going to choose to spend $130 more up-front just for the pleasure of being ill-served by AT&T's data network.

That whole 'service' is a non-option in the US. At least until the iPhone is available elsewhere and AT&T's network load lessens.

They've dragged their feet for 3 years to update the network for the wildly successful iPhone. I doubt the iPad will push them any faster.


I agree, but it really is unfortunate that AT&T can't get with it, because unlimited wireless access for $30 a month isn't a bad deal at all, unless of course, it is really slow and unreliable.


iPod Touch DX.
