The only thing you need to know about the iPad

[JBecker]

As always, Ars Technica has delivered the best review around.

Anyway, here's the conclusion (similar to what I wrote in an earlier thread), but I do recommend reading the whole thing.

 

 

 

Conclusion

 

The iPad is many different things to many different people, and writing a conclusion that sums it up for everyone is impossible (in fact, it's pretty difficult to write one just summing up the Ars staff's feelings alone, and we're a pretty tight-knit group). Though we only highlighted a small handful of apps in this review, it's important to note that most of us think that the software makes the iPad. This first round of applications is quite good overall, but what comes in the future from Apple and third-parties alike will likely take the iPad to much greater heights.

 

Truthfully, this is device is one that can only really be understood by playing with it firsthand (we know, it took us more than 18,000 words to tell you that). No matter how many words get spilled on the iPad around the Web, there's still no simple way to describe how it feels and how it's different from a typical computing experience or a smartphone experience. Those of us on staff who were highly skeptical about the iPad before having touched it had a very different understanding of it afterward spending some serious time with it. This is likely to be the case with most users.

 

The iPad has numerous flaws

On the contrary, I think we also need to know this about the iPad:
