I am a PC kinda guy. I never liked the MAC much, but I just became an IPAD2 owner and have come to really like it. Does it have limitations? It certainly does as do all "small" computers. I did find that i could "make it work" in almost every case. There is probably an APP or a work around for every "need". And you don't even have to jailbreak it.

Every issue or "need" fix was found right here in this Forum. Surprising to find that your issues arent only yours. Most APPS are realatively cheap.....so you won't feel bad ditching a poor one. (But I did read the reviews closely).

Flash? Dont have a fix for that one. I don't miss it either.

Keep looking through the Forum............you'll find your answers here.

Regards
Steve

The solution is easy, refund it and get a netbook/MacBook Air/Windows Tablet.

I agree that there area imitations, but the iPad serves my purposes. I debated over a year about spending the money, but am glad I did. The iPad serves as a great portable web surfer and email device. I sit in a comfortable chair and have it on my lap. Don't have to sit in a hard chair at the computer desk. This is not a computer. Take it back get a refund and buy a Pro book.

thanks for help

I think you would probably have a lot more luck with most of your issues on an Android tablet. As of right now there is no Android tablet that I would really recommend, but something like the Galaxy tab 8.9 or 10.1 would probably do you well.

Android would be able to completely solve 2-8. I am unsure of the exchange attachments as I use gmail, but even if it doesn't work natively there ARE applications that do what you want.

1. Not 100% on this, but I am pretty sure Android has no such limitation.
2. Android tablets are autonomous and free of iTunes
3. Android gives users access to the file system and multiple apps to unrar files
4. Android tablets have/will have better cameras than the iPad2
5. Not absolutely sure of this one. This should work on both iOS and Android.
6. Again, access to file system allows you to place anything you want on your Android device. It attaches to the computer and mounts as a mass storage device the same as a USB thumb drive.
7. Android has flash support.
8. Android tablets, even the MEH Tegra 2 based ones can play mp4 files at 1080p, unless they are encoded in high profile h.264. Its this limitation of Tegra 2 that makes me not like the Xoom. Tablets like the Galaxy Tab 8.9 and 10.1 will not have this limitation.

Some people on another forum are recommending the app Downloader for downloading and reading .RAR files. Usually inside the various apps (I use GoodReader) you can mail files.

While i don't disagree with the points you list as frustration, stick with it, with 60k apps and counting, there is nearly always an app that can do what Apple 'forgot'.
