Can't match Apple's wealth of apps

GPS functionality is non-existent by nature of design
Those wanting a 3G model will have to wait for currently unreleased tablets
Aluminum backing scratches relatively easily
Not available without keyboard dock
Tends to topple over if you tap the screen when it's docked to the keyboard
