    I have iPad and I love it.

    Full length movies can also be watched from website besides Netflix and iTunes.

    Plays all the latest TV shows for free from ABC

    CBS channel also let iPad user watch latest TV shows

    Other website like MSNBC.com!Fox,National Geographic Channel and many other streams video to iPad.

    You can download content including video to iPad so you can watch them offline.

    You can access content from one to another.

    Email attachments can be saved to multiple apps and can be uploaded directly to Google Doc or any other site in a flash.

    iPad has iPad version of iWork which is Mac version of MS Office and it's fully compatible to MS Office. All kinds of document , spreadsheet and PowerPoint presentation can be created on iPad.

    App Radio plays at the background which means while doing other things , you can listen radio.

    Screen can be parted in two parts and two job can be performed side by side.

    It has IPS technology so video looks stunning.

    It can play HD video.

    iPad has TV out function so you can watch web video or movies from Netflix or other websites on TV

    Gaming is totally spectacular.

    I cam go on and on .....so here I stop, if you have a question ,shoot me email.

    Cons:

    Lack of Camera

    It's addictive

    You have to buy some accessories to make full use of it

    Like :

    Apple case

    Camera kit

    The biggest plus point :: it doesn't support Flash.

    So you can watch video without any annoying commercial or pop ups. It supports HTML 5 which is future. Recently Microsoft and Google both gave statement in favor of HTML5.

    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.

    The answer depends on what you want to do with the iPad. It's great for surfing the internet and watching short videos, but not ideal for extended reading or work with requires detailed updates, etc.
