    I already have an Amazon Kindle and it's pretty cool. The tablet will be interesting though, playing games on it would be pretty fun too. Does it have an accelerometer? If so, i's gonna be sweet playing HAWX or Real Racing on it. Dual stick shooters would be kinda hard to play I guess. Looking forward to it.

    imo acclerometer games on tablets would be ridiculous. it would look kind of dumb and your arms would start hurting after a while

    if it proves to be a GREAT way to read digital documents (i mean, comparable to read on actual paper or even better) and it gets a dedicated version of this http://mekentosj.com/papers/ (it already exists on iPhone) I'm in.
    Any additional feature will be also appreciated.

    Will devs have to redo apps for the tablet because playing the games meant for a smaller screen will stretch it and so, won't they be very blurry?

    ...or pixelated. I'd choose that over blurry. As far as I know Apple is requesting that devs create games that are resolution independent for use with both devices. Either that or they'll just be separate.

    yeah, my guess is that current apps will be marked as not compatible with the new device by default, and devs will eventually make them compatible with updates
