its not a pc or a laptop
working in a very apple encentric job i can confirm that most people buying the ipad are buying it thinking it is mucj more than it actually is.
I can honestly say upto 50% of the people I speak with are disappointed in the ability of the device.
Flash, a mobile browser, and the way that setting up mail on the wifi 3g versions are just messed up, works on wifi fails on 3g, works on 3g fails on wifi.
Overall most people will not actually complain and look the fool when they realise it isnt a laptop.
These devices are way over priced and need to be at least halved. They are just glorified netbooks locked into the apple garden.
Pads will take off when :-
1 - they are as powerful as a current laptop (then you can justify the price at around 500-600 euros)
2 - they are recognised for what they are, glorified netbooks, that should be priced around 200-300 euros.
How many people are outwardly going to say they spent 800 euros on a ipad to find out it doesnt do what they thought it would........ Hense the lack of bad comments methinks.
