Having a dummied down operating system that is so limited, on such a grand device is totally disheartening. Honestly, it does in fact make Apple look like they just want something for you to plunk quarters into.
The iPad could have been a lot more "magical" with a magical webcam and a magically delicious version of OSX that isn't oh say.. minus a few gigabytes?
Or even at least Finder? The file system is there, jeeze. Give the masses the ability to access it, and oh wow they don't have to buy stuff from the app store.
No Finder, No multitasking out of the box, poor wifi issues and charging issues, no web cam, isn't as fingerprint resistant as people expected, small storage options.
It does in fact work the best for what it is intended for:
Light browsing.
Books.
Portfolio on the go (as a design student I can fully appreciate it).
Movies.
Some games.
Apple, wtf, you could have done so much better. They have *ix support for ARM processors in some distributions.. Apple could have chosen to implement a totally awesome netbook killing OSX tablet... but..
they didn't want to.
It's still cool though. I sort of want one. ahaha for couch browsing.
But when I want to get some serious work done, I will pick up my Macbook.
