While it might seem that Wired's review of the iPad is a tad overdue , our tardiness is not without reason. Apple makes perfect honeymoon devices; glossy, glamorous, luxury items that purr with interactivity and effortless sophistication as soon as they emerge from their artful boxes.

Devours content -- books, magazines, comics and videos -- with pleasure; More portable than your laptop, more substantial than your smartphone

Stuck behind Apple's backwards restrictions: no multitasking; too few video formats and a lack of flash all hold it back from being the do-all device

One might wonder if our market is low priority for Apple. In fact, we've reviewed the iPad before, but that wasn't much more than a hands on. Finally, the iPad is available in India, and has been for a couple of weeks. The reason given for ignoring India all this time is shortage of supply.

Well designed; well built and attractive looking; Great simplistic interface and very good onscreen keypad; Great gaming experience; Wealth of applications available

Expensive; Lack of a front camera for chatting and such; Lack of memory expansion as an option; Display is prone to smudges

It's been a few months since Apple's shiny plinth was thrust from the waters, gleaming deity-like on the black sand shores. I had just returned from a month-long trip checking out the top technology at IFA in Berlin and the World Expo in Shanghai when I heard that I had become editor of Tone.

Apple's iPad is finally here. Neither a smartphone nor a laptop, the iPad is Apple's attempt to create a new category of device that sits in between the two. It's expensive, there are plenty of hardware flaws and missing features, and there is a lack of content, but the iPad remains a very...

Design; outstanding screen; App Store; excellent battery life; impressive performance; works with existing iPhone apps; great digital photo frame

Holding and typing is awkward; display smudges easily; screen almost impossible to see in direct sunlight; no USB port; no SD card reader; no camera; Web browser doesn't support Flash; currently limited content

While ‘fanboys' and ‘haters' continue to bicker about the merits and flaws of Apple 's iPad, one important question remains: what is it actually for? After all, here's a device that's essentially an iPod Touch that's too big to be considered a portable media player, yet is also too limited to...

SOME ARE CALLING the Apple Ipad a potential replacement for the laptop , so we've put it to the test to see if it really lives up to expectations. At the Ipad's heart is an A4 chip which actually is fast.

Speedy A4 processor; eye popping screen

Cost; 3G option is even dearer; Lack of expansion capabilities; no peripheral ports; inability to load software other than what's approved by Apple

"not bad APPLE HAS INDEED TAKEN A BIG STEP! WELL DONE ! KEEP GOING ! ITS TRUE " AN APPLE A DAY KEEPS A DOC AWAY! LOL!"

For now, Apple pitches the iPad as a computer that fully engrosses you in a web page, your e-mail, or media because-apart from playing music in the background-you can't really do two things at once on it, and its non-finger input solutions are still in their infancy.

An impressively built tablet computer; featuring a clean industrial design borrowed from Apple's MacBook Pro computers; internal components derived largely from its iPod touch and iPhone pocket devices; and stable; multi-touch software.

Cannot serve as a standalone computer; in addition to iTunes dependence, horsepower is presently shortchanged by limited, iPhone-class multitasking that forces all third-party applications to occupy and waste entire screen; lack of camera similarly limits value for video communications.

Verdict: Is it worth it? Put it this way. If you never bought one, you wouldn't miss it. But buy it and you'll soon wonder how you lived without it.

Brilliant user interface; lovely LCD screen; great form factor and design; WiFi support

Quite an expensive gadget; expensive accessories; no Flash support
