Harry McCracken has more questions about the Apple iPad than answers. Good questions, too.

Will Wired readers buy the iPad? Most said no.

Underwhelmed is how I described the Apple iPad in my first post about the gadget. I love the pricing, however.

David Pogue’s first impressions.

Before launch, the iPad hype was huge. Here are some numbers.

According to Forbes, the Apple iPad will not kill the Amazon Kindle.
