I am sorry you read my first posts that way, even in my first post I was very clear that i did not hate my iPad. As for doing research on the product, this goes to, yes I did what research was available as I was one who reordered on day one, I trusted apple as I have done in the past, I have owned iPods from gen 1 on, in fact I still have 2 of the second gen iPods, I have an iPod in every car, Both my wife and I have had iPhones since the first day they were available. We both love them for different reasons, but we still could come up with some downfalls, much less now with the 3 gs than the first gen, that just shows that Steve listens and dowse make some sensible changes, so that he can sell upgrades.
Anyway, I did know that it would not support flash, or at least what I had read said it would not support it in the beginning. Again this was all info before the device was actually out. There really was no risk as far as I was concerned because as with all new apple products I knew I could sell it at a moments notice on bay, not that I am going to do that. I am in general happy with the iPad, does it do all I expected no, will it ever probably not, but the real question does it fulfill a need? Yes, if nothing else I would keep it, sell my Sony reader and use it a a mail reader and ebook with clock and music and that alone puts it way above my Sony reader. Price difference? Maybe 250 after I sell my Sony on eBay? Yes, having a reader that I can read at night while listening to music, or read at lucnch and still know what time it is. Well worth the 250 difference. Would it have been nice if it did the video from my guitar site, yes, but is that enough to sell it, no. As for printing, ia would have liked it, I even got two of the programs, but they do not do what I want. Is that essential to me, again no, did I know that it was not going to print? No, was it from lack of reading, no, it was because it really wasn't a concern until I started using the iPad reading email and I came to an email that actually wanted to print and I said, oops, it cannot print it, bummer, what an omission, I hope they fix that for next software update....
