Would it be rude to say that I don't care what anyone has to say about the iPad after only a single day of use? It's not a new laptop, it's a new mobile device entirely. It'll take more than one day to really get the iPad, for better or for worse.

Yes, and no. Let me explain: if it would be a new laptop, the differences from existing laptops would be mostly subtle. A day may be too short to see them. With a device of a new class, you'll feel the differences right away. Being able to analyze and articulate them takes some time though, even if you do that for a living. This is why I dislike all this rash of articles about the iPad. They're all speculation, as the facts have not sunk in yet.
