Apple iPad – Not For You, But For The Other 99%
It was impossible for Apple to have created the magical device people were conjuring up in rumors. (No, despite the copious use of the word ‘magical' in Apple's marketing campaign for the device, it's not magical.) Perhaps the iteration they launched here was a bit of a conservative effort.

Review: Apple iPad
On the eve of the launch of Apple's iPad, I am thinking of Ed Roberts. He never became a household name, but as the man behind the Altair computer - a kit for lunatic tech hobbyists released in 1975 - he was responsible for launching the microcomputer era.
Pros:
- Compact, cool-running, speedy - and a groundbreaking new way to consume media
- You already know how to use it
- Thousands of apps will make it more useful and fun
Cons:
- No multitasking means no gadgets or widgets: Does IM really need a full screen? Virtual typing is tricky when holding iPad upright
- No way to print directly
- Apps are only available from Apple's App Store

- looks great

- Built in Wireless N Capability

Apple iPad review
The iPad is a great tool if you only need the capabilities of an iPhone with a large screen. Sure, email and the browser excel here, but to make it perfect for everything else, it needs much better security and you'll have to purchase the extra dock and keyboard to make working on the move viable.

Apple iPad
The Apple iPad isn't an eBook reader, which makes it very hard to compare it to other eBook readers. It doesn't use e-ink technology, it's heavy, you can't read out of it in bright places, and the display will strain your eyes eventually.
Pros:
- Amazing design
- Most intuitive interface yet
- Full-color screen
- Wi-Fi and 3G wireless
- Will do just about anything
Cons:
- LCD display is hard to read from in bright places and will eventually strain your eyes
- Battery lasts only ten hours
- Heavy
- Costs almost twice as much as the Kindle 2 or Nook
- Additional 3G wireless fees apply (around $130

Apple iPad (Wi-Fi + 3G)
The Apple iPad is a revolutionary, addictive Tablet PC with Wi-Fi. Add in 3G, and it becomes even more useful, just perhaps not $130 more useful, which is the premium you'll pay for always-on connectivity. And with 3G you have to tack on another $15 to $30 a month for service.
Pros:
- Sleek design
- Gorgeous, sharp, accurate touch screen
- Improved iPod, Safari browser, photo, and e-mail apps
- A plethora of downloadable apps
- Flexible and affordable 3G service plans
Cons:
- Costs $130 more than the Wi-Fi-only version
- Some applications don't work over 3G
- AT&T is the only U.S
- carrier with 3G support
