Yeah, but nearly every drawback they mentioned has been known since the thing was announced. No multitasking? No shit. I'm surprised they didn't mention the lack of Flash support like it was some kind of surprise.

You'd think after the original iPhone, they'd have learned their lesson with "sleek, kinda heavy, and slippery as shit."

I'm waiting on real people reviews and probably get V.2 when it comes out. But I agree-Iphone without the phone right now.

The more details come out the better it sounds to me. Im not getting the first gen one though, maybe the 2.0 version.

How does this sound good as opposed to a laptop for more highpowered stuff and kindle as an ereader?

I do mot of my reading with audiobooks these days so the erader feature doesnt intrest me, but a comic/manga reader would be great. Now that Im out of school I dont use my laptop for much text input or high powered number crunching anymore, mostly I use it for surfing on the couch and on the road.

I got the smallest "perfornamce" laptop Dell had at the time (XPS M1330) but its still bulky enough that it rarely leaves the house. The battery dies so fast that I have to keep it plugged in most of the time. It also takes too long to wake up from hibernation and connect to wifi, and half the time it takes repeated attempt to connect to my wifi. I dont like netbooks because its a just a smaller, cheaper version of what i already have. I still have to deal with the annoying interface.

I have an iPod Touch and I love it, so when people say the iPad is just a big iPod touch I think thats a good thing. Ive had mine for over 2 years and it just works, ive never run out of battery, even on long road trips, its finds and connects to wifi without a hitch, it goes from "Sleep" to "On" in no time at all, and the interface just works.

Im just waiting for the 1st Gen bugs to be worked out and the next set of features.

I love my iPhone but I can't get myself to buy the iPad, specifically because of the inability to multi-task...
