How many of you think that the new Apple iPad (which has a built-in GPS) will be a significant contribution to boating navigation?

Not significant, but maybe a contribution as a backup or additional navigation aid. I wouldn't think of it as a charplotter replacement. I was a little bummed to tell you the truth. My iphone does more right now.

I too was a bit underwhelmed... But Mike you got me thinking... I have the Navionics app on my iPhone and used it all last season. It performed flawlessly for me. It would only be better on the iPad.. IF the resolution was not upscaled in some manner that did not degrade the chart... At $499 + $9 for the charts its not too bad... I wonder how daylight viewing is on that screen. I know my iPhone suffers...
It is really I think aimed at netbooks and is to be a Kindle killer I guess???
I can't really justify the cost just yet, need to see more...
I'm not convinced it has true GPS. The wording they are using is vague (at best) ...
... Is there even a version of iPhoto or Photoshop available for it?
Ah vince, you beat me by a few minutes....
