who got the ipad?

well but they did not take the chance and put it out... also slate will be nice but.. the ipad is not a pc.. it a internet tablet with apps... i love it.. bigger iphone yes but it works great it is what it is ya know?

So funny that ppl rave over this thing...

I mean, HP invented a better one over 5 years ago... lol

you can print with this app i have.. a print server..

did they try to tell you it was your router? lol

I had two of them and both had the low wireless connection and wifi dropping issue.

Really hated to return them because I really do like the device. For the three weeks i had it i did not touch my notebook once. Love the touch screen.

But, i am not going to pay $600 for a device that cannot maintain a solid wifi connection when every other device in the same location can (two iphones, a mac book air and a window PC).

I also did not like that it did not have any ability to print from it.

I think this is where many folks are making a mistake. This is not a laptop replacement. My goal with my iPad(when I get it) is to have a portable way to be on the web, watch video, answer email and little else............

I too have a laptop (actually 3 of them) that I really like, but if I can avoid lugging it around and I can dump my $40/mo wireless card through cricket, then the iPad will do everything I need it to.

Those that expect it to be a laptop replacement have unrealistic expectations.

Well said Elendil, my wife bought one two weeks ago and loves it. IT IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR A LAPTOP. We also own iPhones and I prefer the larger screen for reading and surfing the net. We didn't get the 3G version due to all the wi-fi spots around town. A wonderful product!
