Will the iPad be a success?

I am not going out to buy another gadget, but Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal thinks the iPad does a bang up job of replacing a laptop for a lot of people. And it gets 11 hours of use on battery power. That’s outstanding.

I’ll tell you this, the iPad will do a good job of replacing those video players people use for their children or for airplane trips. But, without USB or multi-tasking, it’s not going to cut the grade for me.

Here are two videos of Mossberg reviewing the device.  Below that is a link to his column at the Wall Street Journal as well.  Also see Paul Kedrosky’s "Bloomberg Goes iPad." Enjoy.
