I think the power of the iPad is in the Apps. If it was the hardware, everyone would be using a laptop ...Look, Apple guys, I'm sorry, but the iPad has become irrelevant. Apple's restrictive software policy that prevents use of off-market apps and their unwillingness to add in external storage support should be a red-flag. Add in the proprietary ports, and you've got a lot of stuff for a system that could become obsolete and almost unusable at any time.
I can't wait. I don't own an iPad 1 atm, but I'm hoping that iPad 2 will be a bit cheaper
