Hi!@eInfinitiThe iPad is indeed an amazing product - it's a stretched version of the iPhone and attracts attention of just about everyone around you. It's like taking a Hummer, which was a head-turner in the first place, and then building a stretch limo out of a Hummer!The iPad has pretty much all of the features that the iPhone does and what I would really like to see is a kit to fit the iPad into a car dashboard bundled with GPS navigation software that talks to the driver to negotiate turns. The capacitive touch screen should make using the device so much easier than the GPS devices today, most of which are based on some Microsoft mobile technology (either Microsoft Windows Mobile, Windows PocketPC or Windows CE) and have resistive touch screens that are hard to work with and are not as responsive.The sales of the iPad within a span of 28 days exceeded the records set by the iPhone, which does tell you quite a bit about the hype surrounding the product. What has been even more exciting is that there's been so much about the Apple iPad that everybody has been talking about that when you actually get one, it's gratifying that you actually got one and can use one, irrespective of the feature set.The iPad does lack in a couple of areas though. The iPad is neither a notebook/laptop computer nor is it a cellular phone. Most people fit their personal electronic device into one of these two categories and since the iPad is neither portable enough to carry around as a cell phone (imagine holding up an iPad to your ear to take a call!) nor does it have the processing power and the user interface to double up as a notebook, what you have is a pretty big video and audio playback device that comes with an appstore loaded with lots and lots of games.I wouldn't really buy an iPad or recommend an iPad to friends because the price simply doesn't justify what comes out of the package. The Lenovo Thinkpads with multi-touch screens are what I would pick over the iPad because they do have actual utility as Intel processor-based machines that run Windows and Linux.
