3: Too expensive.

Even for the entry-level model, $499 is expensive when you consider it doesn’t offer many more features than an iPhone or iPod touch. To me, the iPad is nothing more than an iPod touch with a bigger screen.

2: I already have an iPhone.

It has 3G capabilities? Big deal. I doubt I’m going to feel comfortable leaving my house with a $500 piece of super-thin metal and glass… What’s that? I have to pay a $130 premium to get the 3G-enabled version of the iPad? That’s just dumb. There’s no way the 3G modem costs that much, Apple. Who are you trying to kid here?

1: The iPad doesn’t fit in my pocket.

Mobility. That’s what I want in a “mobile” device. Apple redefined what I considered a mobile device when they released the iPhone. The iPhone has eliminated my need to carry around a phone, an iPod, and quite often the need to lug around a laptop. I’m able to carry around one device, and its best feature is that is fits easily and discreetly in my pocket.

Can the iPad do that?
