More comfortable experience than the iPod Touch or iPhone. Reading e-Books through Apple’s iBooks app is snappy and enjoyable. The backlit LCD screen
While less natural-feeling than a paper tome
Is still natural enough to

But there’s no denying it can feel crippled when you’re outside of a WiFi hotspot
And the same is true of the WiFi iPad.But with a micro SIM slotted inside the iPad 3G
You’re no longer dependent on the flaky hotspot of whatever coffee shop you’re in to peruse your emails. Instead
You can open whatever app you want at anytime
Without any limitations. Set up couldn’t be easier
For Apple iPad
Email and web were made for the iPad
Games look great and play smoothly
The operating system is solid
Speedy and ohsoeasy to use.
Thirdparty iPad apps are already great
Luxurious screen
The editors didn't like
Screen is hard to see if you're thinking of browsing outside
64GB version is very expensive
We'll tell you when it's launched
Virtual keyboard doesn't have layout options
No Flash support
No multitasking
No camera for video chat
2x view of iPhone apps is crapola
Will cost you to fill it with useful stuff
Can't multitask yet
Limited to what Apple offers you
WiFi only at the moment
Screen vulnerable to glare
There are flaws underneath the iPad’s slinky shell. For a start
Apple’s e-mail system lacks true file support
Which makes using the iPad as a serious laptop replacement a no-no for the time being. When it comes to browsing the web
The iPad is also left out by its lack of Flash support. Skipping through pages might look great at first
But closer inspection reveals a few disappointments such as
Not going to stop you working on a laptop
For now
Awkward to hold
Delayed arrival of iBookstore in the UK
Heavy
No camera
Limited multitasking capability
On-screen keyboard can't compare to a physical keyboard
No physical keyboard
Can start to feel heavy after a while

3G network sometimes spotty
Higher price tag
3G burns battery faster//32GB
3G burns battery faster//64GB
3G burns battery faster
No external storage or peripheral connectivity
Applications can be loaded only through the App Store
Cut down operating system
The iPad's large size is as much a hindrance as it is an advantage
Screen is a fingerprint magnet
Touch typing is uncomfortable. Too reflective in sunlight.
Speakers are too quiet
Attracts fingerprints
Still no Flash support
Those initial niggles don't wear off
Not convinced about the keyboard
It's pricey!
Tariffs not cheap either

The iPad 3G has a reasonable touchscreen keyboard – certainly one that’s much easier to use than that on the iPhone, for all but the shortest messages – and the ability to remain in e-mail and Twitter contact, wherever you are, is, for some, a major c...
