And that, is how you use an iPad

Somewhere out there, children are actually starving to death.  And this is what these guys are spending their money on...

I watched some videos of these things in use, and I don't see any point.   Its a buncha people pokin around at the internet and looking clumsy while doing it.   When/where is the footage of them being used like hi-tech covert ops espionage devices.

Most people seem to think of the iPad as a "laptop killer", but it isn't.  It's something else.

I remember people being just as upset when the iPhone arrived.  "It's too big!", "It's too expensive", "There's no keypad!", etc.  Yet now even those that whined the loudest have one in their pocket.

its hating a device that costs more than most laptops and lack tons more than one.

It's not a laptop, mate.

what if the OS goes crap how do you re-install the OS??

Do you know anything about modern technology at all?

Where's the multi-tasking.

Ok, I'll give you that one, but I assume this will change with future updates.  Right now, only Apple's applications can multitask.  3rd party apps can not run in the background.

Great for watching movies??? not if u own them on DVD lol.

Oh, gee, I bet they didn't think about that one.  Take that, Apple!

No flash?

Good riddance!

Having to always buy Apps from Apple or music from them. How do u rip ur favorite CD collection?  Oh yeah u either use a computer transfer it wirelessly or pay for the same music again from Apple.

Sigh...  Import CD/MP3 in iTunes, sync via wlan.  Come on, man, at least pretend you know something about the product before you start whining in public.

Want one hmmmn no thank you my Laptop hands down destroys it.

...you know, just saying "I'm obviously not the target group for this product" quietly to yourself is perfectly fine.

What a sad thread this is.
