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
Excellent screen; really easy to use; fantastic battery life; very fast
No physical keyboard; can start to feel heavy after a while

Huge capacitive touchscreen; Wi-Fi connectivity; attractive design; App Store is filling up with apps and games; compatible with iPhone apps; intuitive user interface; fast and responsive; easy to sync and back up; good screen for reading colour ebooks; you can leave it on at all times
Awkward to hold; delayed arrival of iBookstore in the UK; heavy; no camera; no Flash support; limited multitasking capability; on-screen keyboard can't compare to a physical keyboard
Thanks to its simple, iPhone-like user interface and responsive screen, Apple's iPad is the first tablet computer with the gadget x-factor. It won't replace your laptop for anything but the basics, but, for Web addicts, iPhone fans and technophobes, i...
Abstract: Does it live up to the hype? Yes, yes it does.Following months of rumors about what it did or did not have, what it was called, and what functions it would actually perform, the iPad was unveiled January 27 by Apple, and has withstood early jokes abou...

The iPad is the first in a series of products that could transform the industry; we know HP is releasing its slate later this year, Dell is producing a 5in slate based on Google Android, and rumours abound that both Nokia and Samsung are producing iPad...
There's no denying that the iPad really looks the business – it uses its expansive screen to let information be displayed in all its glory. It’s an althogether more relaxing, more comfortable experience than the iPod Touch or iPhone. Reading e-Books through Apple’s iBooks app is snappy and enjoyable. The backlit LCD screen, while less natural-feeling than a paper tome, is still natural enough to
There are flaws underneath the iPad’s slinky shell. For a start, Apple’s e-mail system lacks true file support, which makes using the iPad as a serious laptop replacement a no-no for the time being. When it comes to browsing the web, the iPad is also left out by its lack of Flash support. Skipping through pages might look great at first, but closer inspection reveals a few disappointments such as
OK, so under that gorgeous skin and updated interface, the iPad really is a gigantic iPod Touch, or an iPhone without the calling abilities and it has the same flaws a sboth these devices. But we love our iPod apps, and the iPad gives them space to gro...
Wonderfully slick operation, Bright and ultra-responsive touchscreen, A thing of beauty
WiFi only at the moment, Screen vulnerable to glare
With it's fantastic screen, intuitive UI and innovative apps, the iPad is a joy to use. The simplicity wull appeal to the millions of people who find Windows - and Mac OS - mystifying.
Screen produces luscious colours all day long, Prettier and more portable than rivals, Ace App Store and free Apple apps, Ushers in dawn of 64-bit software
Lack of ports, adapters are pricey, iOS walled garden may frustrate you, Not a complete laptop replacement, More capacious versions are expensive
Dizzying, dazzling and debonair, Apple’s must-have iPad is simply the best gadget you don’t really need ...
The iPad is a great tool if you only need the capabilities of an iPhone with a large screen. Sure, email and the browser excel here, but to make it perfect for everything else, it needs much better security and you’ll have to purchase the extra dock an...
