Seems Apple has quality control problems like all other companies these days. There is a growing list of users who find their new iPad not as functional as they were supposed to be. What use is it if it won't connect to the net?

Not buying it.

I don't like how the DRM on it works. If I buy something then I expect to be able to use it (legally) however I want.

It could be a great table leg leveler?


Fortunately, there is one woman in this world who can control me.

Unfortunately for you, she is not here.

Flash support would be a nice place to start.

I have to say I think it is one of Apple's lesser creations. I can't think of any special part it would play in my life other than reading e-books, and my touch does that just fine. Just my opinion of course. Hope you enjoy your new wee toy.

EDIT: And I am an Apple freak. I have two macbooks and two touches and a shuffle, so I am not a mac-hater. I just can't find a justified reason to get one. Thinking of an iphone though. I get frustrated when I am not in a wi-fi area with my touch. Takes the magic out of it. lol.

Progress is funny. I bought an iPad in 2010, and it worked perfectly for three years. I just got the iPad air, a lot of progress has been made since this post was written.

Apple never ceases to impress me with their innovations.

I have never touched another brand since i got my iPhone 3g(got 3gs,4s, now i have 5) and iPad 1 (i now have iPad4)

Haven't upgraded to the latest yet ..

And I'm also thinking to replace my windows computer with a Mac mini and a macbook pro soon.

So I am totally jealous of the fact that you are not only in Texas, but also just purchased an iPad. How do you like the iPad? I have had Android based pads and an iPad. I have also had both types of phones, and i don't know if I have settled on one or the other. I think both have their advantages. Apple has been very good at building its' brand and marketing. Steve Jobs was a brilliant man. I will give Apple respect for being able to dominate as much of the market as they have over the past few years. The iPad was another brilliant invention of theirs.
