As a person that loaths apple with every fiber of my being, I make the announcement that the iPad is the single greatest computing device ever invented in the personal computing space ever.
Course, like the iPod Touch and the iPhone there will be /serious/ long term user/reliability issues which are the main problems I have with apple's stuff
It will last AT MOST 2 years before you have to buy a new one due to dead batter/broken switch etc. The synching software WILL destroy your data a tleast once in that time as well. Don't keep anything you want to keep permanetly on it.
And you almost HAVE to jail break it to turn it into a usable device (By default even this thing won't let you run more than one app at a time. Leave it to apple to take a great multitasking OS on a resonably powerful cpu and turn it into a single tasking user experience 9.9)
If only the system were open (And in this case, even Windows qualifies as being "open" compared to Apple's locked down OS), it would not only be the greatest computing device ever made, but it would sell 100 times as many...
But anyway... I will probably hate myself forever but I'm thinking of asking for one for my B.D. as well That is how great this thing really is if you get your hands on one for 5 minutes
