I have to agree with most of what they say...it is odd it's not widescreen
and no HDMI out.
My iPod touch doesn't have HDMI, yet I could connect it to our 42" TV to
show a video, using the dock connection, composite but not HD. With a
dock like the HomeDock HD you can use HDMI and toslink. More clumsy
add-ons.
While I'm very underwhelmed by the iPad, especially the name [better
than iSlate but not much], there will be third party devices very
quickly to take advantage of the dock connection.
No Flash - have you seen the beta version of HTML 5? It does Flash
videos without the Flash player. Unless Adobe can rewrite Flash so that
it doesn't suck up all CPU processes, HTML5 could replace it. HTML5 is
supported in Safari and Firefox 3.5.x
Should have a few built-in slots. No USB is stupid. No memory slot or
standard SIM are dealbreakers. My Nokia phone does better.
