MacDailyNews: "'In three years, when the low-end WiFi-powered iPad costs $199, many households will buy 3 or 4 of them and just leave them lying around the house. These iPads won't be 'owned' by any one member of the household, the way PCs and cell phones are. They won't live on desks, the way desktops do, and they won't be carried everywhere, the way mobile phones are,' Henry Blodget writes for The Business Insider. 'They'll just be there, around the house, on tables and counters, the way today's books, magazines, games, and newspapers are, booted up, ready to use.'

'You'll be able to play two-person games on them (also revolutionary for a handheld device). You'll be able read newspapers, magazines, emails, books. You'll be able to tap out and send short messages. You'll be able to research and shop. You'll be able to keep and share family calendars,' Blodget writes. 'You'll be able to sit around the breakfast table with each member of the family scrolling through one, the way many families still do with newspapers. You, your children, and your guests will, most importantly, just be able to walk around your house and pick one up.'
