The pros are that it is like an Ipod touch and has loads of fun apps. The apps are better than on the Ipod touch. It is the best way to surf the net. But if you have a laptop and an ipod touch there is no point in buying it.

Apple iPad is one of the "coolest" devices around. It has lot of good things including:
* Thousands and thousands of apps
* Apple support
* Touch Screen
However, it has some serious shortcomings:
* Apple's closed platform
* Not good for reading outside
* No flash support
Keep in mind that the iPad is not a laptop replacement. It is a niche device.
