Yeah, the reasons I'm still waiting are primarily:
1. Lack of an open file management system. I want something that's much simpler to get files on and off of.
2. Would prefer a screen an inch or two bigger. It handles PDFs of my research articles better than I thought it would, but the scrolling is still old in landscape mode for multi column articles.
3. Lack of flash. This isn't as big a deal as I thought it would be, but does still prevent using a few sites I occasionally use. I use the webcam on my laptop a lot and would like one
So the iPad came really close to fit my needs. But I doubt they'll ever fix all these, especially the first as they're just not an open, drag and drop company with their devices.
So I'll probably end up with some android tablet in a year or so when some second gen models come out.
But the iPad is a very slick device, and very good for people who just want a media consumption tablet. Just a bit lacking for those who want it for that AND productivity/work related tasks as it's just not aimed at the latter. It can do it, but it's just not ideal for reading big PDFs, editing documents etc.
