After initial enthusiasm, I've soured on the iPad. As a large ebook reader, it's just heavier than I really want. The price is right, but I really want a 10-inch reader that's super light and rugged like a real book or magazine, not another delicate lcd device. The new generation of foil or plastic-backed e-ink is what I want. If the iPad can drive down the prices for those, that would be great. No LCD device is going to make e-ink obsolete for e-reading. Where did that idea come from?
If I was interested in the iPad as a MID, again I'd be disappointed. The lack of support for Flash is a complete deal breaker. It's like offering a web pad that doesn't support the web. Ridiculous.
