Books look like they're about $5. That is the sweetspot in my opinion. Score one for Apple on that one.

But they showed one book that was $15, the Ted Kennedy thing. Or maybe it was a typo by the blogger?

Well, we don't know what relationship with Apple McGraw-Hill developed, if any, so hard to say if it's a snub or not. For that matter, it could even be that they weren't able to come to terms with Apple and their CEO let the cat out of the bag as a little bit of payback. Who can say?

Where did you see $5 books? Kennedy's book was shown as being $14.99--which was some articles said most hardcovers would be.

Has price of the hardware even been mentioned yet? I wasn't paying attention.

I like to imagine The Leader did what Darth Vader did to the guy who didn't believe in The Force.

Clarification - iWork will be a big deal if you can connect an external keyboard to it.

Won't happen. You "won't need, won't want" a keyboard supposedly.

Check that. Reports said that the publishers would set the pricing but that it would likely be more than the $9.99 Amazon has been shooting for.

See, with the possibility of at least two sizes of the iPad, you can have a mini and a maxi pad. I wonder if they come in red, too? Maybe the touch will now be know as the iTampon, since it is smaller and fits inside your pocket. Any other FHP jokes, go ahead. No matter what it is called, I am ordering one of these. They could call it a Zune and I would still get one. :wiggle:
