Very good thread. I hope it helps people make an informed decision on whether they want an iPad or not. Not everyone is like scottjl who apparently has now completely morphed into a gerbel and crawled directly up Steve Jobs backside. People who don't live near a brick and mortar where iPads are directlysold, and who are not self-proclaimed no-it-alls or Apple proselyters, will need this kind of information. Thanks, you did a good job.
