Lines of people wrapping around the block at the SoHo Apple Store, waiting, presumably, to buy an iPad.
What will be interesting is to see how sales stack up, and I don't mean volume of sales, but whether people decide they want connectivity all the time, like a smartphone, or can live with Wi-Fi access, as iPod touch users now do.
The difference is that the Wi-Fi-only approach makes the iPad more a media consumption device, while full-time connections might make it something else.
What the "something else" might be, remains to be seen. Nobody seems to think it replaces a smartphone. Beyond that, people seem to be unsure about whether it represents an entirely new product category or "just" a new interface for a netbook or laptop.
