The tablet has a proper keyboard and can be used as a laptop.

The IPad Has all software controlled by Apple...if it does not
approve of the Software you cannot install....so much for freedom of choice.

I would be surprised if that is true, considering how easily
installing third-party software on an iPhone is after a
jailbreak.

It is true. You can only install apps from the store.

Do you have one? Have you looked for a jailbreak?
Is only a matter of time.

How about the fact that anything you want to plug into the unit,
like say a DVD Player, all requires that you buy it from Apple.
Have a Portable USB DVD player already?? or a USB Portable HD??
oops it wont fit
you need the " Apple Adaptor"
How about that 3G network you want to connect to because after all your
already
paying for it with your I-Phone.......oops need to buy an Apple Micro-sim
card for Access plus a
new data plan (depending upon your carrier)
So you just downloaded that HD U-tube video..damn there is no way to play
it on that 47"HD LCD Panel in your Living Room.
Hey...Look Pamela Anderson running naked down the Street....Damn no
Camera!!

On the other hand its lighter than your Laptop/Netbook ,easier to carry.

So don't buy one...

Do you have one?

You couldn't force me to buy one if my life depended on it. Its for
idiots with more money than sense however they won't admit they bought
something that's completely daft.

No need to. When it has been, it'll be posted online.

Nothing computer-connected should one bet their lives on!

Take your personal problems to an advocacy group.

By the way... Your post should be labeled off-topic, it has
nothing to do with homebuilt personal computers.

Do you pay for anything?
