I guess I just don't understand...

So a company as big and as rich as Apple comes out with a supposedly ground breaking product in the iPad. Now, I'm no expert, but I feel like they are going about it all wrong. Touch screens are becoming huge. The iPhone is huge. Mac laptops are growing. Now when I use these words: huge and growing, I am speaking in terms of popularity- in fact, in size, these things are getting smaller. So why would Apple present this new product in comparison to the iPhone that is pocket size? Who would want a notebook sized iPhone that can't make calls or take pictures? This makes no sense to me. When I first saw it, I figured it looked like a laptop, minus the keyboard. But with a touch screen, a keyboard can be located directly on the screen. I liked that idea. However, the idea of it being an iPhone on steroids doesn't really get me all excited. And to make things worse, Apple is now having all sorts of legal issues behind the name "iPad". A Japanese phone has used the name since 2002... and also named the iPad, is a canadian lingerie company's product:

Why didn't Apple look into this?

Let's take this a little further- survey says: This is a dumb product.
