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

Moving on from the basics like look and feel and the overview of data plans, let's look at some of the best aspects of the 3G-specific model, In addition to having a 3G modem, the iPad 3G also has built-in GPS. This means that for mapping applications and
The downside about the US iPad 3G is that the 3G service comes from AT&T, of course. I had hoped that the speed of the 3G connection in the iPad 3G would somehow be better — even if just slightly — than that of the iPhone 3GS. It's not, This isn't to say
If you want 3G connectivity on your iPad, you should probably get a tablet with the necessary hardware built-in. But if you live in an area where Verizon offers good coverage and AT&T coverage is spotty, this is a viable option. And because the MiFi...
Abstract: The bottom line for me is that the Kindle is a one-trick pony that does that trick very well, better than the iPad. I recently relocated my home and had to box up 10 heavy boxes of books. The idea of putting 90% of them into one 1.5-pound device is extremely appealing. And it's a cheaper choice than the iPad, which I have no...
Abstract: It is the end of 2010, and Samsung has just outed its first tablet computer, the Galaxy Tab. Its purpose, apart from making lots of money for the company, is to compete with Apple's groundbreaking iPad - a product that managed to single-handedly initia...
Abstract: If you are reading this iPad review, you are probably still wondering if you should spend $499 or more on an iPad, and you are looking for answers. In this post, I will try to tell you what the iPad does (or does not), and how good (I think) it really...
Abstract: When Steve Jobs announced the iPad he described it as a “magical” device. The iPad has been on the market for almost 2 months and is an innovative product and pretty terrific but is the not the enchanted piece of technology that Cupertino would like yo...

Precise touchscreen use, Outstanding IPS screen, Silent, Good battery life, Appstore and iPhone compatibility
Arrow keys are missing (virtual and hardware), Only Apple Apps permitted (no alternative browser), Few expansion options, iOS4 not yet available
The iPad is fun. It can't and doesn't want to replace a notebook or netbook. And as soon as the small computer is seen as a pure entertainment device, the advantages are obvious. The interactive consumption of multimedia content is the main application fi...
Big, gorgeous screen, Works with current iPhone/iPod touch apps, Up to a 64GB of memory (and 8+ hours of battery life) in a slim package, Movies, music, internet and more, big enough to share and intuitive to operate
How are we supposed to hold it for long periods of time?, Onboard sound is severely limited, No flash support, Charging is not as simple as it could be
Of course the iPad is not solely an entertainment device. It offers serious functionality such as such as simple-to-use email and a fine e-reader for, y'know, "books." At the same time, it lacks the goods under the hood to make it a viable alternativ...
