7. Can only install apps from one place
8. Way overpriced, Apple TAX in the extreme
9. Glossy screen instead of matte finish
10. Device has to be “authorized” to function
My reasons definitely include 1-7 and 10, but I welcome the iPad pricing if it forces down the price of proper tablets - those that support a stylus and handwriting input on a professional grade environment.

So while it is of no use to me I am happy for the iPad to do well in the market to help improve the products I can use - ie a pen-based not touch-based Windows platform.
