And like I said, I can't imagine anyone carrying this around with them outside their home, other than on road trips or flights, so no real need to even mention it's calling capabilities.

The only thing I consider "bad" out of all the things I've heard about it is the battery life. 10 hours in "optimal"...so average will probably be a lot less than that. Not bad for use around your house, but if you were on a long trip or something that would be annoying.
Mmm well the iphone eats batteries like candy as well, so this doesn't surprise me. And I can guarantee it wont get 10 hours even at optimal setting. Probably apple sat in a room with optimal temp, optimal lighting, and optimal assholes to predict this number.

Still think the only product apple has made so far that I still consider a good investment is the iPod. So much time spent with music, and my 30 GB video iPod is still rolling along. iPod is so tasty.

My thoughts about iPad:

It will be hella useful for so many jobs.
Those uber douche types will buy it because it's from apple.
I really expected some serious innovation from Apple. Hate them as I might, they're always the first to make new things, and then other companies improve those things for me later. Giant iPod touch/iPhone. I actually don't understand why this wasn't created a year or 2 ago bar from the fact that the internal parts might have been quite a bit behind. I remember one day being like "Lol, probably should just make this iPhone 10x bigger and sell that shit to people" Tah dunh! They're doing it now.

Also Lack of Flash = Lack of pretty much the internet anyway.
