@Jessie P
Put it on eBay and buy something else, or If you have kids, install DoodleBuddy.
I did not get an iPad and propably won’t, the only use I can find for it is for the children games for my 2 year old. But then it would be way to expensive. So nope I will skip it.

Got one for Xmas, even though I expressed serious reticence. Just as I suspected: useless. My MacBook does everything the iPad does, but much more ergonomically—and cheaply. I don’t want to have to buy little bloblets of the internet just because they’re “cool looking”. Great, I can purchase an impressive-looking periodic table for $14. Uh… okay. Why do I need this? Lets see: the free NYT app is unreadable b.c. it’s so small and doesn’t zoom. I stream videos on my laptop-which is larger and doesn’t require stamina to watch a 2 hour movie. I don’t read books electronically. I don’t need another gaming system. The email interface blows. As does the horrendo, hunt and peck, touch keyboard. And I’m not sure where and when I’m supposed to use it. Am I to schlep it to work? Even if I had time during the day, and I didn’t have access to, you know, a computer and internet, my office doesn’t have WiFi. So, the subway? I’d prefer not to get mugged if I can avoid it. And at home, I’ve got the laptop, on which I can do multiple things: listen to Pandora, check email, and write bitchy comments about the iPad. Please, someone tell me what this thing is for. I’ve got to be missing something.

Actually after reading some of the comments here it occurs to me some of the issues/problems are of the owners own making… stupid user syndrome. You have to know how to load it and what to load to use it. You also have to read.

Yup, it’s big ipod… why would anyone want to view movie on a tiny 2 inch screen???? The ipad is great for what it’s intended for. Email, Web, Reader… etc. If you want computing you use you Macbook… simple.

I’ll bet lots of Apple bashers would crap on it if it did tricks… Go back to your Microsoft touch device like the tiny HTC.. it does so much more hahahaha…

No Flash player!!!!!!!
Cannot view 90% of the videos online, even restaurant websites who have a scroll down menu.
I bought this piece of crap without realizing all of this. By the time I found out why I could not view all I should be able to, it was too late to return.
Even to print you need another computer!!!! If I need another computer to print from, then why would I buy this piece of crap in the first place??? Stupid me.
Apple screwed me again, not just from the extremely low performing battery on the iPod mini I bought years ago and the 15 inch notebook that had two complete hard drive failures within two years, but with this piece of crap Ipad.
F*^# You Steve jobs.

iPad Hell yeah I am going to buy one. As soon as everyone goes to my website and donates .25¢ or more. As soon as I have enough money to buy one. I will Open the box seal the holes and take it as deep as we can underwater then at a target range. Put my high powered rifle on it make entertainment for all. Upload the video for all to see. If people donate too much I got a friend with a stick of dynamite and we can blow it up.

I’d love to have an iPad! I can finally have a cheap tablet PC that does EVERYTHING I need it to. I have my PCs and Macbook for Playing Crysis, and whatnot, but for taking notes at school I hate taking around a device which costs more that a 1000 dollars (Macbook) or is a gigantic PAIN to carry around (My PC’s)

This device is perfect for me, as I can finally take notes in a device that has an amazing touchscreen (over a thousand capacitative sensors) and with a pretty long (longer than my VAIO and Dell Laptops combined, in fact) battery life, I can use my tablet at school without any hassle. I don’t need multitasking on this device, although it would be even better if it did support multitasking. But taking notes and organizing my papers is gonna be a hell of a lot easier!

I guess I’d watch TV on the go a lot too. I live outside the USA, but I’m American. I hate German TV shows, and would love to rent TV Shows on the go with a 3G network!

And once devs start making apps for this thing, the competition will need to start worrying. Because I’ll probably find my PSP full of dust after they make GTA for iPad.

It won’t replace my beloved computers. It won’t replace my iPhone. It will replace my iPod, TV, Pens, and note-taking paper.

I still like Lenovo and Sony more than Apple.
