Agreed, meant to say for now. Maybe in a few days, maybe people get excited!

With the size of some watches having clown-like proportions, I wouldn't be surprised to see a leather strap on an iPad for wearing like a watch.

Just think: you could change the dial, bezel, etc. at will... "There's an app for that"

I'm still trying to figure out what to use my iPad 2 for. Received it free for buying a copy machine.

It's great for backgammon, but that's about it.

This is probably one of the few places where the Basel show gets more interest than Apple's latest release or (for American football fans) Peyton Manning's press conference . . .

I'm very much looking forward to this. I use my iPad 1 more and more each day for both business and pleasure. I've held out on buying the iPad 2 since I knew a better display was forthcoming. We'll find out in 40 minutes or so.
