An iPad is a closed system. You are at the whim of Apple and it is not a real OS. You are all wrong about the EXPOC. It will not run hot it and it will not lag. At least as a general purpose reader and resource device. Any large program I will run on the desktop. It is 2lbs which is very heavy compared to most eReaders but in general not really that bad. The iPad is 1.5 lbs and with 3G it is 1.6 lbs. The iPad has a better viewing angle but the EXOPC has better resolution. The EXOPC width is 9.8 inches and the iPad is 7.47. A difference but not enormous. The iPad is a toy and the EXOPC is a real device. You are not spoiling my purchase because this device is going to be fantastic.
