MacPad

On January 27, 2010, Apple released the iPad. But could it be possible that Apple is just getting started, and is preparing to release a Mac version of the tablet?

You are not seeing the big picture. The iPad isn't a "sample."

It's not going to replace the iPad. It will be sold along side it. The iPad, however, is the catalyst to bring the MacPad into existence. The MacPad will herald the future of computing. Apple likes to refine things, too, before releasing them. They're probably not nearly done with the MacPad, or whatever it'll be called. This is simple reasoning.
