Am I the only one who doesn't give a crap about the iPad?
trii: I dislike the devices limited features but understand the reasoning for it. I also dislike the iphone for the same limitations. I'm personally waiting for the Notion ink Adam which I understand has been delayed today as well. A more powerful tablet with a longer battery life and a daylight readable screen for about the same price (estimated $350-$800US). Then again I'm one of the 'geeks' that want a feature set and not a carefully controlled user experience. And yes I own a jail broken itouch and the experience is not compelling enough to buy into the larger unit.It is a first generation Apple device - you're essentially testing the product - no guarantees that it is the polished product you would expect. Knowing the amount of users I will have to support that will purchase the device scares me - we ran into the same issues with the hinge fiasco on the Macbook airs. Yes they eventually warranty covered those repairs, but for at least 6 months we were dealing with "accidentally damaged" $1700-$2700 bricks.The hype is scary and some universities are already jumping the gun, see seton hall: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-10471690-17.html
The problem is they're showing off their school site on the device as a mockup, however their site has flash. This could be corrected before they are deployed - but what other issues with that approach will there be?
