One of the best gadgets around. The wide 10.1 inch screen with a great touch interface, and a promising 10-hour battery backup. It really provides a great battery backup as I have read documents for more than half a day and still there was a lot of battery left.
One should have to think about the pricing before buying the iPad but everything else is great enough.
