I have two major issues with the Ipad (not including the name, btw...).
1. Lack of at least 1 USB port.
2. The closed OS and the need to go to Itunes in order to get applications (which are censored by Apple)
The third I haven't heard anything about yet: how can you charge it?
At least I can make my own programs for any window version without anybody knowing about it...

Well, you can make them for the iPad too. You just can't distribute them without getting them approved. Unless you want to distribute to jailbreakees.
I'm not really defending them on this point though. I think it's stupid too. Not that they have the app store - but that you *can't* install apps other than through the app store. I think having the app store is a fantastic way for developers to get visibility for their apps, I just don't likely that you can't give people a link to your app and have it automatically install, like on Android. It's lame, but makes sense for Apple. They're quality and control freaks.
I still think, in spite of some decisions not everyone will agree with, the iPad is best in its class. Or perhaps, for now, the
only thing in its class.
