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.
