I think for many most for like it. Others see it as way of wasting money. The iPad isn't meant to replace any laptop nor does it replace the desktop. It simply bridges the gap between the smartphone and laptop. There's so many negative comments in here and yet no has mention that they even played with a iPad yet. Everybody hated the iPod when it first came out, now most everybody has one. Everybody hated the iPhone, now almost everyone has one. Everybody hates the iPad but we'll see in a few months. For many please take the time to play around with the iPad before you make a stereotype comments on it. To me, I know it's not going to replace my laptop. But for what it is, it makes for a great device.
