    The novelty having worn off, I see what you guys are saying. Hopefully os 4.0 for iPad fixes things -- if they're timing it for the 3G release, then all the better.

    I used my coworker's ipad, and what I didn't realize is... this thing is heavy! My kindle weighs like nothing and the ipad is like trying to carry a netbook.

    See, we were telling you all along, but you were blinded by the apple logo.

    The only use for this piece of shit is playing board-games outside of a home (in the shade).

    I'd still rather go buy a travel Scrabble from a drug store for $7.

    So it takes a whole 2 days for the novelty to wear off? Hopefully within a week then the entire world will get the memo that this thing is worthless (some reviews online are already starting to get there), but Apple Fan boy-ism holds no bounds and I'm sure this thing will keep selling like hotcakes for awhile.

    I'm also just gonna throw this out there, why this thing is 150% inferior to any and all netbooks or mini laptops that you can buy for the same price or cheaper.

    Diablo II. Fuck you iPad.

    But I'll never be able to multi-task in the beautiful spring sunlight.

    NewsflashIt still can't do Flash, doesn't have USB, has shitty wifi, overheats in sunlight, makes for shitty e-reader and is uncomfortable to use in your lap while watching a movie (unless you like having to hold it upright or are a fan of creaking your neck all the way down the entire time).

    But hey, now you can multitask and walk around with the elitist sense of satisfaction that Apple users exude to the inferior humans with their Android Phones and Windows netbooks (that all cost less then what you paid for).

    It's not even true multi-tasking. More like "restricted multi-tasking".

    Well, taking a look at Apple's history of proprietary hardware/software, I'm extremely surprised they didn't include a firewire port on the iPad. Then, they could once again create an entirely new market (firewire based storage drives)! Missed opportunity Stevie...
