It will replace my Kindle, and 3rd party development will extend the device to do things we can’t even dream up right now. I, for one, welcome our new iPad overlord - but then again I’m a card carrying fanboy.

It’s all about perspective. I’m not really sure I care about Flash, and it might actually make my browsing experience less distracting, too.
