I do think the reviewer makes one good point that folks should be aware of. The very thing that makes the iPad simple to use -- also limits it. It is not a general use computer LIKE a Mac or a PC. It is a computer -- and it COULD be a lot of things we are all used to with computers. However, it is aimed at those who would like a computing appliance -- not a general computer.
As such it both ROCKS....and SUCKS. I'm an IT professional -- I'm used to having lots of control with my computers. The fact that I can't just connect the ipad and manage the files without iTunes is certainly limiting.
However, I love it as an appliance. It does the many things it does do -- very well. Reading, email, apps, games, web browsing.
I do hope in time that Apple matures it to have more control options for it's users who aren't confused by file systems and the like.
In the mean time -- I use it for what it is and am very happy with it. We are soon going to be inundated with good quality Android competition. Those who like more control and options -- and with it more confusion -- can get an Android device.
I'm happy with my choice but in a couple years when it's time to replace my iPad -- I'll certainly weigh the options.
