The highlight for me was the ebook reader. Up to this point, you had to covert PDFs to JPEGs if you wanted to read an ebook on most e-readers...or buy a Kindle from Amazon. The iPad will actually allow you read ebooks, which you can download from all the major publishers, which really is a threat to the printed page (in a positive way, for tree-lovers). No one is thinking about how this will affect the comic-book industry.
Granted, file-sharers have been downloading and reading comic books for years now, using a comic book reader, JPEGs or PDFs. The iPad is the natural evolution - back issues and new issues alike are inevitabley going to be released on Apple's revolutionary product. Marvel, DC, Image, Dark Horse and all the independent publishers have yet to make a statement, but it's just a question of time.
Mark my words, at this time next year, Wednesday's new comic day WON'T just be at your local comic-book shop.
