Yeah, but it is a PDA. The iPad, although it has some Newton-like features, is not a PDA. At least Newtons can download/upload data without syncing to one specific computer (Sloup anyone?) and can print and fax.
I wouldn't be surprised if the iPad actually turns out to be a hoax as a response to those Apple tablet rumors that have existed for 12 years. Sure, Apple has been researching tablets since the 90s, but when they make a real tablet, for serious work, it's not going to be like the iPad.
