Like all prototype concepts that preceded the iPad with a fully functional touch screen, the iPad is new to this world for many people, and it may take some time to get used to like when computers first came out. The iPad is alot more than just "An enlarged iPod touch". If this device was loaded up with Mac OS X instead of iPhone OS, I would see the iPad as a very much possible replacement for the MacBook, the Macbook Air, and the MacBook pro. The iPhone OS is designed for mobile devices such as the iPhone or the iPod touch, but the physical size of the iPad in my opinion deserves as much functionality as any Macintosh out there. In my opinion, a device of that size and physical mass should not require a computer to sync with, and instead should be a self-fully functional machine that could have as many features or more than the MacBook series of laptops. Other than that, the iPhone Os on the iPad does not allow multitasking, therefore limiting the functionality of the device itself. Apple came out with a great product, but they put a very basic Os on it. Instead, put Snow leopard on it.
