It doesn't have a physical keyboard, you can buy one for additional cost. And those keyboards aren't as elegant or as well-built as the iPad itself. And if you do put a keyboard on it, then you have just created a netbook, but at more than twice the price.

It isn't widescreen, it is 4:3. Widescreen is 16:9 by my definition. Turning it sideways makes it portrait or landscape, that's all.

Webcam and more memory are updates to second generation. I also have a camera expansion kit so that I can interface a camera through the Apple connection. More cost, though. We had several hundred thousand Visa points, so my iPad was free. I missed the chance to buy other toys, but it didn't result in any out of pocket cost.

Flash is one thing I miss. I don't like going to websites and seeing blank boxes. I just can't view those websites. That sucks. There aren't that many of them, but there are enough to notice.

I do own one. And I like it for what it does. But it loses in feature comparison tests with laptops, just the same way as it wins as long as you consider it a new product category, discounting previous tablets.

All IMO.
