Default Who has bought an iPad then?

What are they like? I'm a big Apple fan but i just can't justify buying one at the moment, but i still really really want one just don't know why!

Im going to call at the Apple store on the way home from work for a play, as they have been released here at the beginning of the week.

If you've already got your hands on one, i'd really like to know what you think so i can make up my mind

More of a waste of money than a new rs 500 IMO

I'm sure all the issues would be fixed with software updates anyway? That's how it works on their phones!

More reports are saying it might be hardware issue.

If I were you, I'd wait!

Yeah, I'd be waiting for the 3G version. There's no reward to being an early adopter of new technology. You'll just end up wishing you'd waited a few months and got the sorted one.

Probably a good thing. I'd cancel to be honest and wait a few more months
