It's nice to see other people noticing the problems that come built in to Steve Jobs' controlled world.
Analyst Sweeting says Apple's limitations make its products feel like living in a safe neighborhood. "Apple is offering you a gated community where there's a guard at the gate, and there's probably maid service, too."
As more consumers have fears about security on the Internet, viruses and malware, they may be happy to opt for Apple's gated community.

@Tedri Mark: Slow sales where...? It's selling briskly on every country that Apple is currently selling afaik. They quickly sell out of stock everytime it's replenished.
@Schettj: There is no safeguard/censorship on their browser though (other than the one 'provided' by lack of flash, lol). What Apple controls tightly are apps and videos that gets distributed through their iTunes Store. You can load all the porns you want (and can handle) if they don't come from iTunes Store.
I think this will matter more when porn interactive apps/games get more popular. You know, the ones with wireless dildo accessories *G*

its amazing to see how stupid people are that they would actually go and buy an ipad which in essence is really just a bigger iphone and yet again still cant support flash.
What a waste of money. Only reason its selling is cause apple fans have to have everything apple makes.
I will give credit to apple on one thing tho, it has tons of amazing apps that cater for everyone and sometimes the unusual things.
but as far the ipad goes its a pointless buy

Ugh god I just tried to find the article which cites lack of addons (keyboard etc) as a possible reason why sales have not been as fast adn cam across some horror:
This:
http://eu.techcrunch.com/2010/05/16/...mini-notebook/
A protective case that adds a keyboard. This has been my argument all along, fair enough on a fone, where, adding a keyboard would incread thickness, but what's the point in not having one, if you already need a bag to carry the thing around?
And then this, which attempts to debunk the 'shortcomings':
http://chris.pirillo.com/are-apples-...-or-perceived/
" 7: Still no multitasking. Here’s a suggestion: focus on the task at hand instead of juggling? More to the point, research is now suggesting that multitasking actually slows us down! I’m not going to hold a device responsible for what neuroscientists say is a shortcoming in human wiring – and neither should you. Pay attention to that which needs it – and nothing more. There are certainly cases for needing more than one app open at a time, but not at the peril of a good (single) app experience. Knowwhatimean? "
Yeah, because it's sooooo much quicker to watch something download, and then start typing a document... Gah I reeeeaaally hate this thing.
Can you tell?

@badboyuk: I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by how much use and functions you'll get out of a tablet of that size, whenever a flavor that you'd tolerate come by and you get one of those. By the looks of it, Android will come first in a few a months and MeeGo is still in the distant. I also thought it'll just be an oversized iPod Touch at first, but I was quite wrong.
@Tedri: Ok, I understand your enormous hatred for Apple and everything it represents
You may not care about the facts of your arguments anyway..
ps: background downloading is supported by Apple's implementation of multitasking.... also, there were actually a few well backed researches that proved that the way people multitask on their computer actually makes them less productive than if they sit and focus on one thing at a time.

THIS is what people want - a safe, functional internet.
Makes you wonder about functional.

Apple products are just one of the most tightly closed source there is, N900 is just when open source is overdone

Exposing the iPad e-mail leak
The iPad e-mail leak is based on a vulnerability within the AT&T network that was released by Goatse Security. This security group has revealed security holes in Amazon, Firefox, and Safari in the past. According to Goatse, they used only data and scripts that were publicly available to find the security hole that the iPad e-mail leak exploited. Before going public with the iPad e-mail leak, Goatse notified AT&T, who closed the security hole. AT&T has not yet notified owners of the iPad 3G whose e-mail addresses may have been compromised, two days after they were informed of the security hole.

At the end of the day
Is this Apple's fault or AT&T's?
If you bought a wifi only iPad, i doubt AT&T would have your address
