Yea, I won't be getting an iPad anytime soon
y0himba:
It is going to be a trendy device for those iClones that need to show everyone they have one. :down:

couldn't agree more, apple need to get a grip on reality and make something useful, maybe an iCar would be ideal, or an iPlane.

To save you the time of having to work out what Apple’s iPad doesn’t have, here’s a quick list:
* No camera/webcam
* No tethering
* No voice support
* No TV subscriptions (widely rumored)
* No textbooks (again, widely rumored, especially after McGraw’s slip the other day)
* No background apps
* No new notifications system
* No complex multitouch
* No Adobe Flash support
* No brand new platform (basically it’s the iPhone OS under the hood)
* No new take on the tablet UI, no significant on-screen keyboard advances
* No USB port for device connection, such as flash drives (a problem for road warriors hoping that this will replace a notebook/netbook)
* While the device is unlocked, the choice of micro SIM limits carriers
* No pre-orders (yet)
* And no, it’s not going to be the savior of the newspaper.magazine industry

is the iPad the premature iPril Fool joke for this year?
i hope it dies the slow agonising death it deserves, with all the owners pulling their hair out with frustration when Apple closes the apps store down for it in a years time.
it's another iCube - soon to be erased from memory by all Apple fanboys.

Ouch... that's a bit harsh, isn't it? I'd hope it gets upgrades soon.. especially for multi-tasking. It's not a bad device in my book... just not positioned and/or priced correctly, with some addressable shortcomings.
