I didn't expect to enjoy using the iPad to the extent that I felt during this review. Apple may have received some criticism for calling the iPad their answer to the swell of inexpensive netbooks that have flooded the market, but having spent a substantial amount of time using one, the conclusion is...

Internet everywhere (almost; Long battery life; GPS functionality

3G is an extra $130; Crippled video apps

Thanks to its simple, iPhone-like user interface and responsive screen, Apple's iPad is the first tablet computer with the gadget x-factor. It won't replace your laptop for anything but the basics, but, for Web addicts, iPhone fans and technophobes, it's a tasty slice of gadget goodness

The iPad tablet is not a replacement for any other device you own. It is designed for media consumption, and on that front, it delivers brilliantly.

Original; gorgeous design; Fast performance; Extremely long battery life; Superb touch capability

Very few ports; Attracts lots of fingerprints; No Flash support

Apple's iPad reimagines the personal computer as an intuitive, slick and portable device that sprouts new features and uses with every additional app.

No manual necessary; Access to nearly all iPhone apps; 10-hour-plus battery life; Bright 9.7-inch IPS LCD screen; Three external buttons; Multi-directional accelerometer

Highly reflective screen; Slippery; No multi-tasking (yet; "Only" a few thousand iPad-specific apps (so far
