[QUOTE="1991-C4, post: 1094772, member: 162118"] I think the biggest problem with the iPad is... that it is sold by Apple. And what is Apple's claim to fame? Computers of course! The problem is that people sometimes (wrongly) assume that since the iPad is an Apple product, it is some sort of re-packaged laptop, but its not. The iPad, like the iPod, is a consumption device. It has but one purpose and that is to serve as a portal to iTunes. It is all about mobility and portability, but was never meant to replace a full-fledged computer... at least not at this stage of its development. Even now that jailbreaking is no longer illegal, this still does not mean you can just pluck any piece of software off the shelf and install it on an iPad. I thoroughly enjoy my iDevices, but you have to really examine what they can and can not do to determine if it will meet your needs. [/QUOTE]
