To each his own, but if you don't want it then sell it. I bought a 32GB on release day and sold it on eBay a month or two back. I just didn't use it enough like I thought I would and it isn't really any different than a netbook for what I wanted. So sell it if you aren't happy - more than enough people will line up to buy it off you.
Got a tip for us?

iPad is just a toy, thinking about selling it~

Winni, you are ignorant yourself. I am an American who is extremely passionate about all things European. I have spent a ton of time in Europe, including my favorite country - Germany. I think the only generalization I can make and stand by is that humans, in general, are all idiots at times. It is certainly not limited to Americans and most definitely includes Germans, who are some of the biggest freaks I've ever encountered. But, I find so much to appreciate about Germany and it's people. It seems like you need to open your mind a bit.
Also, I've travelled in France and Spain and have never had communication problems. Nearly every attempt I've made to speak French or Spanish has been met with an English response. I've also had success using my German in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary.
So a guy doesn't like his iPad, and he instantly becomes a troll? Oh no, he called the iPad a 'toy'. How blasphemous of him!!!
Seriously, some people here just can't take any criticism on an Apple product. On top of that, they counter him by pointing out his lack of skill in English grammar. Very rational indeed.
I have an iPad too. It has been sitting on my desk for a couple of months now. I have a MBP too. The iPad just cannot replace my MBP for what I do. So, yes, it is a toy for me. It is very cool and all and I really want to use this device, which is why I haven't sold it yet. But sadly, my MBP is way better at everything. And I do not mind it being less portable.

I came to the same conclusion. sold the ipad, LOVE the 11.6 mba
anything that I couldn't do on the mba that I could on the iPad can be done on my iphone. It's just a better setup IMO

It is just trolls trying to get attention. They have no other lives than the five minutes in the spotlight they get here. Really it is quite sad.
Your'e right. It's pretty much just a toy for most of us. I mean, does anybody really "need" to have one? I don't really "need" it but I must say that I "love" it. I use it all the time and would be sad to lose it, but it not something that I "must" have. I think it's a sweet luxury item for most of us.
No, it doesn't make him a troll. I just don't understand why people like this even bother reading and posting on these forums.
So people can only post if they agree with you?? "people like this" sounds so condescending
Lol, best thing I have read all day!
I love my iPad everyday I am finding new uses. It keeps my calendar, contacts, uni readings, facebook, mail and books I am reading. All my media from music, movies, tv shows I am yet to watch and all my podcast lectures. It forewarns me about pollen counts so I can take my asthma meds. Reminds me what I am ment to be cooking for tea as I likely planned it a week and a half ago. Let's me write assignments in font of the tv. Watch movies in the bath- iPad mount on the wall of course. Keeps scanned PDFs of our bills so I can find the dam things when I need too. Honestly I have it with me 12 hours of everyday. This is not a toy! You should have seen the person I was before it. Now I'm super woman.
Where else would the OP post about his iPad? On PCRumors? This is the forum to talk about Apple products right?. The iPad is an Apple product right?
If you don't understand why, then that is your shortcoming. But let me explain why: because they can. They feel like they want to share something and they are exercising their right to do so on this public forum.
If you don't want to hear bad things about your beloved Apple product, then close your ears. But don't expect the OP to stop talking.
Need is a relative term. Do you need your computer? Really? Some people might actually NEED the portability that the iPad affords while to some it is a true luxury item. When I hear the term toy thrown about I tend to give it less credence (my opinion) as these are usually terms bandied about people who are generally not into much tech and need to label tech items as something they can relate to.
