I dont like the iPad, i use multitasking alot, and i reallly like to watch a lot of videos on the web, (youtube, metacafe, google video, etc.). I accept it has maybe the most beautiful and responsive screen never made for a portable device, but i just hate using iTunes, sometimes im at my friends homes and i just want to transfer a large video from their PC´s but some of them dont have iTunes so i cant do it, i like the posibility of using de device as an external hardrive or flash memory. I like also USB ports or HDMI, i think Apple could have done something more complete.

This is what i think, they did the iPad so simple so they can sell it at $500 and not the initially $1000 estimated cost, and they use iPhoneOs because their processor could´nt handle MacOs smooth enough. I feel disapointed with the iPad just as many of people who spected more from this.
