Re: iPad
- It's a 4:3 Fullscreen and not a 16:10 Widescreen. Do not like.
- It doesn't have a camera. That knocks video conferencing and iChat AV off the list. do not like.
- It doesn't multitask (at least iPhone OS 3.2 doesn't, 4.0 might) so I can't fire up Pandora and write and email and have an IM convo at once. Do not like.
- It doesn't have a native Flash Player. Things like YouTube have apps that make them work, but Flash Websites simply won't work. Do not like.
Now if they can tackle say, at least 3 out of 4 of the above issues, I'd almost definitely buy one.

Re: iPad
I agree on all your points. The no multi-tasking alone is what killed any incentive for me to buy it. Plus it's $500 for a 16GB version. 16GB??! Seriously? What is this, 10 years ago? Come on now, you can buy a 1TB drive for a fraction of the cost of this thing. It doesn't even have an SD card slot to expand the memory.
Ridiculous.
Ridiculous.

Re: iPad
Not for me . . . I get enough of MAC and Apple at work . . . do not need it for home too. Plus, it suits none of my needs. Heck, I don't even have a cell phone as I simply do not need one.
As for the 16Gb size and in all fairness, it is a SSD, and those suckers are expensive. I think it is ridiculous, yeah, but that is most like the only way they could keep the price reasonable (though I think it is overpriced even at 499 to start).

Re: iPad
I'll give you that SSD are expensive, but at least they could add an SD slot or something so you could upgrade it yourself. F'ing Apple.

Re: iPad
If I was still at university I probably would grab one of these, the main thing I used my laptop for was TV and web browsing.
I like it, but I would never ever buy one without multitasking. That is the biggest nope there, so I can't use MSN and browse the web = fail .
