    I've heard bad things about it, I forgot where though.

    It is only $499 though, I expected it to be selling at a much higher price.

    ONLY $499???? IS THAT SOME SORT OF JOKE. That's evil and disgusting. Thing is notoriously useless. I'd rather get an iPod Touch, honestly.

    WTF is the use of the darn thing Lol. That is WAY over-priced. I was expecting like, 299 max. maybe 199.

    OK, everyone has been talking about iPad lately so I just want to ask you, what's the deal with it? Why don't you like it?
    Personally I would never use it because I can't afford it and I don't need....whatever iPad is.

    I wouldn't go as far as calling it a joke, but it's not what I expected. I have/had no intention of buying it either.

    It needs more functionalities of a laptop and a stylus. And more memory. I think it will be cool in a couple years. I want to replace my laptop. I need a better device for in between my desktop and iphone. Did yall see the picture of four iphones taped together = ipad? Pretty funny.

    The reason of coolness is not enough for iPad to be in the category of desirables. The lack of essential features such as camera, ability to extend storage space, non detachable battery and missing flash support is enough reason for me to hold on to my iPhone 3Gs. What about e-reader features? well, my reliable netbook got me covered.

    its really a joke. You can not do anything with it. Iphone at least a phone you can make calls and smaller. It is just a big ipod touch. useless and apple earns 50% profit from each ipad if you want details check here

    I would say it's more useful than an Amazon Kindle, and the price on those are $489... they sold millions. :)

    Ipad does not get a good feedback because it tends to be a brand new one but still it lacks with a lot of important features that can be found on those IPod. I hope Ipad is at its beta test first because a lot of people will not buy that kind of stuff which lacks with a lot of cool features.

    Is this device going to carry the Apple OS comparable to the iPhone? If so, thats weak! I would rather buy a netbook with Linux/Windows installed...

    Its more than a joke. It is costlier for nothing. Why would Apple had to publicize this product as a Tablet, when it is only an 'I-pod Touch plus an e-book reader'. The only good thing about it is its e-book reading capability,
