It's called the iPad.

What is this thing I must surely want?

ADDED: My first questions: 1. What does it weigh? [ANSWER: 1.5 pounds.] 2. How long does the battery last? [10 hours of video use/1 month standby ? great!] 3. Will it mainly just feel like a big, dorky iPhone that I'm never going to prefer to either the iPhone or my laptop? 4. Is it basically good for Kindle-user types who mostly want to read and are not always moving back and forth between reading and writing?

AND: There's WiFi but no 3G wireless. Oh... Bleh. So it's not even a a big, dorky iPhone. It's a a big, dorky iTouch. I don't want one.

MORE: From the previous link (the NYT blog):

?I can take a flight form San Francisco to Tokyo and watch video the whole way.?

Said Steve Jobs, making me think this is especially aimed at the poor folk who spend a lot of time on airplanes.
