Android platform is already catching up and will rule the tablet platform just as they did with smart phones. I prefer my xoom tab over an iPad any day.

It does exactly the same things a laptop does and the games are better on an iPad than they are on a low-end laptop. Cheers, Eric I have a desktop computer, and I was thinking of getting a laptop, but with the iPad, a laptop seems superfluous.

That said, keep an eye on those numbers, like many are observing, the iPad is changing the way we do computing. In households where you have multiple computers, the ipad becomes a very good option when comes time to replace an aging PC or Mac. I agree, the iPad doesn't have the functionality that it should, but remember that this is first generation. They have barely no competition and they we really introducing the interface to the masses in a larger form factor than the iphone or ipod. With all this consumer user base and experimentation in the enterprise, I think the next couple of generations of iPad are going to put the PC manufacturers in shell shock! Time for Microsoft, Google (not worried for them they will adapt) and the PC manufacturer to move off their butts!

It is just a nice addition next to my pc and macbook. It can't even multitask and the file saving system is not even close to the quality of Mac OS. I could go on and on but the iPad just isn't a pc.

No other PC or Mac requires that they're standalone. Once the iPad does not need to be activated it's an autonomous device like a PC or Mac and can be in the same ranks. Until then, not so much. iPad cannot be counted as a PC/Mac, simply because it NEEDS a PC or Mac to activate. No other PC or Mac requires that they’re standalone.
