The apple i-pad
12 Answers
Is this just a touchscreen computer? Looks good and the apps seem to be the main selling point. What are your initial thoughts on this?

No usb port so can't connect keyboard, external dvd player, camera, camcorder, ipod, mp3 player, usb headset......
Doesn't support Flash, so no gaming or video
No card reader, so you can't see your photos
No camera or webcam
Doesn't support multi-tasking, so does one thing and one thing only at a time
The worse thing for me is the size and shape. It's too big to operate with one hand, you have to use two hands to watch a dvd unless you either prop it up or sit hunched over your lap.
If you carry it about you will need some kind of cover, otherwise the screen will get scratched.
It's too big to slip in your pocket.
I'd much prefer a fully functioning netbook, which is just as portable but far more practical.

we're seriously considering one, just looking into it all at the moment so am very interested in all your comments too.
we have a 'proper' computer and a laptop but feel an i-pad would be very useful with all the travelling we do, would use it for email and browsing. better than an i-phone for us as that's too small, and smaller and neater and therefore more portable than the laptop. we're looking for something that will connect to either wifi or mobile phone network and doesn't have the worry of viruses, firewalls, etc. seems the i-pad fits the bill. going to an apple shop tomorrow to have a good look.
