Why i’m not buying the Apple iPad…yet

Update 04.19.10: I totally bought one last night.

The $499 price point is solid. It’s pretty & definitely well designed. But i’m not buying version 1.0 of the iPad (at least). Here’s why:

1. Nobody seems to be talking about this but i’m worried about how resilient the screen is. If i drop an iphone, it weighs a few hundred grams. The iPad weighs 1.5lbs. What does it take to shatter the screen?

2. No front facing camera.

3. No multi-tasking.

4. What’s the use case? When would i use the iPad vs my iPhone/Macbook Pro?

5. Don’t buy 1st gen.

    1. WHY WOULD YOU DROP ANY MAC PRODUCT!!!!

    2. i agree

    3. JAILBREAK SON!

    4. Can’t experience the web on your iPhone on your couch like you can on the iPad. Your Macbook Pro should stay on your desk cause I’m sure you have a bunch of wires connected to it.
