I just came back from the Apple store and can confirm that the iPad is both the coolest and most useless gadget on the market today. It was hard to leave without one.

I will say this though: if the makers of Etch a Sketch don’t make an app for this thing, complete with “shake to erase” feature, i lose faith in humanity.

UPDATE: I went searching and it exists! Win for humans. although… I remain cautious since there is no demo of a shake-to-erase feature and that is what makes it cool. otherwise its lame as hell. hmmm……  lets hope.
