The iPad's large size is as much a hindrance as it is an advantage
The iPad can't entirely mimic many of the specialised products it seeks to replace
After having worked, or rather, having played with the iPad for a short time, the question remains about what kind of effect the iPad will have in the long run. After discussions with some of the first iPad users, among others, it seems that the iPad...

The 3G iPad is every bit as good a device as the Wi-Fi-only model, and it's only more capable than its fellow model. There are no significant tradeoffs with the 3G version, as long as you're willing to pay more in exchange for more capability. My colleagu...
