I would be willing to bet that a few folks on this site who have spent a lot of time bashing it have secretly bought one as well but won't admit it.... As I've said this fixed income retired bum won't be buying one any time soon. Quote:

Another iPad admission:
Wife is getting one very soon. She has waited for competitors to step up but seeing no legitimate alternatives for the foreseeable future, she decided on the iPad*. * She is a pretty dedicated Mac user with a Mac Pro at home and a brand new Quad Mac Pro with 30" Cinema View at work so she is predisposed to Apple anyway.

Everything.
The touch interface, the incredible software people are writing for it, the ability to relax on the couch without a keyboard and mouse (again touch interface ftw) it's use as an news and eBook reader, media player, map reader, awesome chess player, network hard drive, remote control for home, calendar, maritime chart display, EVERYTHING. I can even use LogMeIn to browse my other computers when I am away from them if I need to. It really is a revolutionary product. I was skeptical at first but now I am a complete fan. Can't wait to write some apps/sites for it.

No ipad here. I still don't like it. There is plenty to fix. I am surprised at the 1 million iPad sold news though.

What is there to fix?
The only thing it is limited by is software, really...

It's great you can get Netflix on it and can watch videos but wouldn't it be nice to output it to a big screen via HDMI? Don't say no because you'd be lying.

HDMI out would be nice, for now it does have VGA, component and composite cables available. As for the dSLR and CF cards - again that would be nice but do you really want to process photographs with it? Seems that work is best left to Photoshop and then uploading them to the device for viewing. It would be nice to have a USB port - pretty much infinite expandability at that point via external hard drives, card readers and other peripherals. I am okay with it not having these features though because it does do amazing things for what it is. Pretty much any more advanced uses and I'd rather be at my desktop anyways, or some other more specialized device.
