They also have the trademark infringements to work out. There are two other
computer-based "iPad" trademarks already. It won't be as easy to wiggle out
of them as they did with with "iPhone".

I happen to have an iPad. That's what I wrote on it some time back before
his unit was even a gleam in his eye. It's a bit hard to back up (I have to
go to Kinko's), but it doesn't get viruses and it's easy to expand the memory.
Sells for $1.59 at any corner store or gas station.

Yep. Also, the clone makers are suing and using the publicity for
their benefit:

Cute. Even Etch-a-Sketch has a iPad clone called "Magic Pad":
