After reading criticism from numerous site, I think Apple purposely didn't include those features such as multitasking and video cam to boost their sales on their next iteration, just like what they did with iPhone. At first glance, iPad is like an iPhone with bigger screen.

Among the factor that waive me away are:
- No multitasking.
Seriously, even smart phone running Andriod or netbook can multitask. So what then put iPad in between smart phones and laptops?

- No web / video cam
No more video conferencing or video chat.

- Ugly bezel
Yucks. Nuff said.

- iPhone 3.0 OS
Now this is a huge let down. I would rather go with the rumored Mac OS X (stripped down version perhaps) than the same OS that is used by iPhone.

- Name
Heck. I prefer the name 'iSlate' over 'iPad'...

From what it's worth, it's just not worth for all the hype I had for it all these while or waiting. I'd live with my iPod Touch for now.

Well that would need to wait until the usual September. 128GB iPhone anyone?

Ah... I just love the arguement about gadget and computing for iPad.

I, myself don't know where to classify iPad. However, I am sure it will work better for the young working generation. As for students, I don't see any good use of iPad in class.
