iPad Thoughts
You can go to Engadget for the latest and greatest coverage on the iPad:

- I love the fact that this is really just a large iPhone that has better, more complex apps and, because of the increased real estate, a better user interface.
- I really love the idea of a $29 unlimited data plan that is not contract based. That's just wonderful if and when you need it. And it's a heck of a lot cheaper than cable or DSL. Plus, it's available anywhere.
- I'm not such a big fan of the lack of a camera on the device. There should be a forward facing camera.
- I'm really, really not a fan of the lack of multi-tasking. That's just an epic fail. I already want to be able to use multiple apps on my iPhone, but I really can't imagine being restricted to using just one on the iPad.
- Finally, it should have been called the iSlate. iPad's sort of lame.
