I’m actually intrigued to find that you are an unhappy owner of an iPad. I think you are the first I’ve ever met. While I will admit that I have purchased many applications for the iPad that don’t live up to what they advertise, I don’t feel that way about the iPad itself. And although I love most all things Apple, if any other company had anything close to comparing to the iPad and it’s functionality, dependability, battery life, etc. at a better price I’d of highly considered it as $880 is a lot to fork over for albeit a great tool but for me more of a tech toy.

But once I had the iPad in my hand I realized what genius Apple really is. While I don’t expect perfection with any purchase I feel confident that Apple will address my issues whether related to software or hardware.

Of course you spent a lot of money if the main thing you purchased it for was for photos. The iPad is so much more than a photo album. I find it’s uses nearly unlimited and I carry it everywhere I go. I use it for my calendar, my on the go art tool, my html editor, my mobile Internet browser, to provide customer presentations at their location without pulling out a big laptop, a mobile virtual terminal for taking payments from my customers, email, and even for entertainment, for looking at the night sky to identify a particular constellation, for searching for buried treasure, as a metal detector, a compass, a navigation system for my car, to listen to audio books, my favorite music, to wind down at the end of the day with my meditation application, I can’t say enough good things about my iPad.

Now that I’ve had it for 4 months.. I think I’d of paid double for it. A little photo application glitch seems petty to me.
