I bought an iPad a couple of months back in replacement of my Asus Eee PC netbook which has given me more problems than I care to share here today.

Apple has never said that the iPad is there to replace a laptop of PC (or Mac), but rather that it will change the way we do things…I’m not sure I’m convinced because ultimately, I wanted to be able to do basic things on the iPad – and frankly expected it, at the price tag it is!
