Still comes down to battery life.

Will have the same battery life as the one I am typing this on.

No flash all because Apple want you to pay for video content on the web ... greedy b'stards.

it's a hell of an achievement to get people to pay more for less by making it look pretty; one of the iPad's most popular accessories - a keyboard Plain

the £10 per gigabyte of extra storage is almost an experimental p1sstake to find out just how dumb their customers are.

sorry - it's £5 per gb isn't it. still ridiculous.

No flash isn't great! But if you compare a PC or MAC  using flash and not using flash you'll see a difference very quickly. Nobody likes being told what to do, but Microsoft have told us for long enough and now Apple will. Not a good thing or a bad thing, just the way it is.

Had my ipad for nearly a year now - great device - wouldn't be without it.

howard ... that's right you cant watch ATR or SLife replays the iPad is useless for video other the Youtube.

Get a Samsung Galaxy tablet it plays flash, bit smaller screen but no drastic video limitations like the iPad has.

Who cares about battery life when several hours is enough for 99% of the population, why not have a device that shows a test card and has a battery life of 100 hours if you want an even more pointless device.

have to say that the 10 hour battery life is a huge plus point for me - how much have the others got?
