Product Description
The best way to experience the web, email, photos, and video. Hands down. All of the built-in apps on iPad were designed from the ground up to take advantage of the large Multi-Touch screen and advanced capabilities of iPad. And they work in any orientation. So you can do things with these apps that you can't do on any other device. A large, high-resolution LED-backlit IPS display. An incredibly responsive Multi-Touch screen. And an amazingly powerful Apple-designed chip. All in a design that's thin and light enough to take anywhere. iPad isn't just the best device of its kind. It's a whole new kind of device. 9.7-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy widescreen Multi-Touch display with IPS technology, 1024-by-768-pixel resolution at 132 pixels per inch (ppi). Wireless and cellular 3G: UMTS/HSDPA (850, 1900, 2100 MHz) GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz), Data only2, Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n), Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR technology. Capacity: 64GB flash drive.

 Great idea, poor execution September 5, 2010
Scott W. Mitchell (Bay Area, California)
This product has such great potential but yet again Apple has been too cheap to properly test it before release. I don't know what's causing it but the ipad goes crazy every now and again where the screen "thinks" you are resizing it and trying to copy and paste even though you aren't even touching it. It gets so stuck that I have to reset it and prey the problem does not come back...which it always does. I think Apple has become too smug in their sleek products and advertising that they have forgotten about actually testing these products before release.
The iphone 4 is another example of Apple's poor attention to detail. Try to get one fixed and you will find out about their PISS POOR customer service.
 Apple does it again by defining and filling a niche with beauty. September 4, 2010

After using the iPad for a few months I agree with the predominant points I see here, that this is a nice device, a pleasure to use, with some drawbacks (single threading and speed) and a Kindle competitor, but not a Kindle killer.
I would add that in my experience typing is a big concern. I like to type on mobile devices so one of my first concerns was whether I could use the virtual keyboard. I was pleasantly surprised that the keys, in landscape mode, are just in the right place and I can basically touch type. I did buy the dock with its real keyboard but don't use it. The screen keyboard is very effective for me.
Another pleasant surprise I got is that, while I agree that this is not the end-all for e-reading (vs. the Kindle and such), it is outstanding for video. With streaming services such as Netflix it can be a nice TV and movie viewer for a single viewer or even two people.
Finally the reason I gave it four stars rather than five is because I am a heavy user of my iTouch and the iPad doesn't add a whole lot to the experience. For me I measure the value of the iPad against the iTouch which I had been a big user of for over a year before I bought the iPad. The iPad does offer the touch typing that I can't nearly match on the iTouch. I can only thumb-type (at best) on the iTouch so the iPad offers a real writing experience against the clumsy iPod typing experience. But otherwise the iPad just doesn't get a lot of use for my set of apps because of size. I have the iPod with me all of the time and the iPad is larger so I only use it at home as a lightweight laptop substitute.
In summary I'd say Apple made a good, very appealing product. I would recommend it to an Apple fan or someone who wants an outstanding web browsing and video experience. A particular strength is the browser which has the legendary multi-touch interface in the iTouch plus the better screen real estate. I would say it is the best plain browsing experience I have had on any device. Kudos to Apple for wedging a product in that in-between category against laptops and netbooks.

Of all the negative press I have herd, the only one I can agree with is the 'Over Priced eBook' and maybe it is, but I have tried the Sony ereader, and I have a nook, but the ipad trumps them all for one reason, I can read in bed...
I can also read PDF's off of Drive By RPG and others.
I cant beat that.

Very happy with it especially during my business calls. I use in it in place of a daytimer for notes, follow-ups, and emails.
It works for me!

I had the small Kindle; returned because I read fast enuf was changing pages 3 to 4 times a minute. Got the big K2. Loved it and still have it. Got the iPad as soon as the 3G 64GB model was available. Later I got the big new Kindle - much better than the old - so I have all 3 - 2 big Kindles and the iPad. Have used the iPad for several months.
It has great potential but one very great weakness. It is TOTALLY dependent on the Apps written for it. I had essentially wanted it for notetaking - really, a simple minimal database. No such luck. Even Apples apps are relatively useless - poor instructions, very limited usefulness, no decent import/export ability.
The best app is a FREE one - Kindle's reader for the iPad !!! - in many ways this is a better reader than the Kindle's because of the touch screen - for a real reader the scroll feature at the bottom of the page (which allows you to scroll swiftly through a book or pdf converted to a book) - is practically worth the price. Also you can set a small font size, and use the 3-finger enlarge tap followed by finger-spread to get EXACTLY the size you want. In the kindles, scrolling is very awkward and slow. In fact the only time I use the Kindles any more is in bright light or to read newspapers (subscribe to the NYT, Wa Post, and Shanghai Daily - none of which is available on the IPad. I read them at home at breakfast and when I leave for work only the iPad goes with me.
It is amusing that Apple's own reader is so bad. After buying a couple of novels thru Apple I learned to forget it and get only Kindle books. The 2 page spread on the Apple (the horizontal feature of the reader) is like the rest of the apps - designed for adult children with very limited abilities. Bizarre. However, Jobs/Apple know their market and I understand why they do it. What Apple makes SELLS. Which just means there are a lot of buyers, not that the products are useful.
The next best app is the Wall St Journal - which shows what COULD be done. I don't see how this could be improved. Pricey but worth it to me. The magazines available are either uninteresting (like the mag - I forget the name - which had the interview with the US general in Iraq who wanted to be fired - the mag is well executed for the iPad but uninteresting to me except for the above interview. That general is a smart cookie - he got out clean.
I did buy Paris Match for one issue just to see what COULD be done - FANTASTIC, gorgeous, beautifully executed - and all in French, which I don't speak. If they ever get an English version I will sign up instantly - but since the French don't want English or American customers, never happen.
I have tried other Apps and apparently they are mostly toys and games for adult children with limited intelligence and attention span. Even the ones titled "get things done" and "productivity" are mostly junk written for adult children with limited intelligence and attention span. (I don't think I am very smart, btw - but these apps - ugh! - blech - who in the world could benefit from them ? )
So, for me, the iPad is basically a reader for Kindle books. I enjoy it but it is almost useless for anything since there are no usable apps I can find. Be careful - they all claim to be great - read the CRITICAL reviews first. GoodReader seemed to work but is so clumsy I took it back off. Keynote, Photos, WSJ, USA Today, BBC News, Evernote, and the NYT Editor's Choice are all worthwhile but thats about it for me.
Calendar works as a reminder. Notes, Contacts,Safari, Pages are all so limited as to be useless.
What a shame. It could be so great with usable Apps. And Paris Match and the Wall St Journal show what COULD be done. If Apple upgrades the iPad so 1) 2 or more programs ran at once, and 2) it was easy to copy from one app to another and 3) easy to import/export - it would BEGIN to reach the potential claimed for it.
