Interesting discussion of the next iPad chip here:A glance at Apple's next iPad, iPhone chip - Computerworld Blogs

Comments well worth reading as well.

I imagined being able to watch bad tv and surf the web with the iPad.
Pros
-easy to navigate with touch screen and scrolling.
-can easily zoom in with fingers
-lighter than a laptop
-no heat on the lap while surfing like on a laptop
-fun and easy apps
- no boot time like a laptop, you are instantly on the web

Cons
-no flash support hard to believe. So many pages use flash. I was watching golf and saw an ad for Titlelist golf balls. I went to titlist.com and found a ball fitting option. You could put in your ball flight etc. and Titlelist will tell you the best ball to play. Only works with flash. What a bummer.
-no arrows for navigation. I know there are a lot of more dextrous fingers than mine to overcome this. I have a blog with small twit boxes which arrow keys would be a great help. Why not have arrow keys?
-more iPad (not iPhone) apps would be nice



Overall, my company paid half of my IPad cost. For $250 it is worth it, if I had to pay full price myself, it would not be worth it.

very helpful, thanks

The Ipad is a revolutionary product... I think a 100 yrs from now, our history books will compare what the Ipad provided to technology now to what The Cotton Gin provide in the 19th century... now if I could only use Macros for Numbers that would make my Ipad complete...

I agree that we need a arrow keys addon and a number keys addon as well.

Well, my iPad is a week old tomorrow and I can't imagine life without it now! I'm organized and it's enabled me to feel in control of events! Sure I'll think of something for the month anniversary that I haven't got and may need, looking forward to IOS 4!
