I'm disappointed in the iPad. I wanted an Apple Netbook. The iPad looks so inconvenient to carry around and there's no way to prop it up. I know turning the pages of a book on it is cool but....I wouldn't want to wear out my eyes with it's backlit screen or try to hold on to it, not to mention its short battery life. I'm very contented with my pocket eReader.

Oh yea....if you don't like "typing" on the iPad, just download "SlideIt" or "Swype" and use those. A very cool way to 'type'....hopefully they work on the iPad.
