There's no denying that the iPad really looks the business – it uses its expansive screen to let information be displayed in all its glory. It’s an althogether more relaxing
More comfortable experience than the iPod Touch or iPhone. Reading e-Books through Apple’s iBooks app is snappy and enjoyable. The backlit LCD screen
While less natural-feeling than a paper tome
Is still natural enough to

The iPod touch
But there’s no denying it can feel crippled when you’re outside of a WiFi hotspot
And the same is true of the WiFi iPad.But with a micro SIM slotted inside the iPad 3G
You’re no longer dependent on the flaky hotspot of whatever coffee shop you’re in to peruse your emails. Instead
You can open whatever app you want at anytime
Without any limitations. Set up couldn’t be easier
Thirdparty iPad apps are already great

The editors didn't like
We'll tell you when it's launched
Too big and heavy to replace iPod
Ships with very average headphone quality
No external storage or peripheral connectivity
Applications can be loaded only through the App Store
Cut down operating system
Screen is hard to see if you're thinking of browsing outside
64GB version is very expensive
Virtual keyboard doesn't have layout options
No Flash support
No multitasking
No camera for video chat
2x view of iPhone apps is crapola
WiFi only at the moment
Screen vulnerable to glare
There are flaws underneath the iPad’s slinky shell. For a start
Apple’s e-mail system lacks true file support
Which makes using the iPad as a serious laptop replacement a no-no for the time being. When it comes to browsing the web
The iPad is also left out by its lack of Flash support. Skipping through pages might look great at first
But closer inspection reveals a few disappointments such as
Not going to stop you working on a laptop
For now
No physical keyboard
Can start to feel heavy after a while
Slippery and fragile for portable use. Very glossy screen. Lacks ports and expandability.

3G network sometimes spotty
Higher price tag

For Apple iPad
Those initial niggles don't wear off
Not convinced about the keyboard
It's pricey!
Tariffs not cheap either
Minuses
All the optional kits and adapters that aren't included but often necessary
Screen glare and fingerprints
Weight
Video
No DivX compatibility file conversion required
Internet
No Flash compatibility
OS limitations still a grind
Lack of Flash support is disappointing
Lack of ports
Adapters are pricey
IOS walled garden may frustrate you
Not a complete laptop replacement
More capacious versions are expensive
Speakers are too quiet
Attracts fingerprints
Still no Flash support
Will cost you to fill it with useful stuff
Can't multitask yet
Limited to what Apple offers you
Awkward to hold
Delayed arrival of iBookstore in the UK
Heavy
No camera
Limited multitasking capability
On-screen keyboard can't compare to a physical keyboard
The iPad's large size is as much a hindrance as it is an advantage
Internet partout sans contrainte, Forfait sans engagement des opérateurs, Accès aux hotspots WiFi avec la plupart des formules proposées, GPS intégré
Réseau 3G parfois poussif, Prix élevé des forfaits, Autonomie réduite en utilisation 3G
L'iPad Wi-Fi + 3G possède toutes les fonctionnalités de l'iPad Wi-Fi (voir notre test complet) et ajoute essentiellement la possibilité de se connecter via le réseau 3G, ains qu'une puce GPS. Ceux qui pensaient pouvoir utiliser leur forfait clé 3G ave...

Système de kits et d'adaptateurs optionnels mais indispensables, Reflets et traces sur la dalle, Poids, Vidéo : pas de lecture DivX sans conversion préalable, Internet : des sites dédiés en nombre, mais pas de gestion de Flash
L'iPad augure clairement de nouveaux usages. Première tablette à s'imposer, elle ne manque pas d'arguments pour convaincre, d'autant plus qu'avec les applis, elle est amenée à évoluer au fil du temps. Toutefois, au sein d'un concept fort, forgé en part...
Rapidité, Conception et finition, Sentiment de solidité, Grand écran tactile de très bonne qualité
Les applications pour gérer la musique et les vidéos par vraiment pratique, Plus lourd et moins agréable qu'un lecteur de livres numériques utilisant l'encre électronique, Clavier externe obligatoire pour les longues sessions d'écriture
L'iPad ouvre un nouveau marché. S'il reprend les grandes avancées de l'iPhone et de l'iPod touch, il est le gadget futuriste que tout le monde attendait. Cette première version sera sans doute dépassée comme l'ont été les premiers iPhone et iPod touch...
Abstract: Comme annoncé ce matin, le JDG teste un nouveau type de test que nous avons simplement nommé « Test Live« . Le premier appareil à y passer est l’iPad d’Apple, mais si la formule vous plait, nous réitérerons l’expérience très prochainement. Le streaming...

La dépendance encore forte à l'ordinateur, L'absence de Flash qui peut compliquer la navigation sur le web pour certains, Le poids
Livrer un avis définitif sur l'iPad est difficile à ce jour (et on ne connaît toujours pas les prix qui seront pratiqués en France). L'iPad emprunte aux ordinateurs portables, aux smartphones, aux consoles de jeu et propose au final une synthèse - non pas...
Il est maintenant temps de conclure ce premier tour d'horizon de l'iPad avec plusieurs observations. Pour ne rien cacher à nos lecteurs, nous étions à l'origine assez circonspects sur cet iPad, sur l'emballement médiatique qu'il avait suscité et sur l'int...
