I've had an iPad through my work for a while now myself, and find most of your points flat out false. I have zero problems with youtube, nor any pic-heavy pages (I can load the girly thread and any page on thechive.com quickly, and with zero issues). IMHO, the only legit gripe you mention is the lack of flash, which, while annoying, doesn't cause me issues very often.
It's not a perfect device, but it's good at what it does, and is a great mobile support and entertainment device for me.
I don't produce much content on it, and think it can be a little clunky for that type of work, but I don't think that's the iPad's primary purpose.

Absolutely this.
If you go back to the beginning of this long thread, I bashed the iPad pretty good before its release. But now that I've had one for quite a while, I'd really be lost without it. I have zero problems loading any youtube vids, or browsing pic saturated sites. I have no idea what the poster above could be talking about there, unless his internet connection is just lousy. Flash is certainly a legit criticism, but not near what I anticipated before getting the device. And there are thousands upon thousands of iPad only apps out there. Any app worth a shit has had separate iPhone and iPad versions for quite some time.
I received the device in the exact same manner as the poster above. But my experience has been completely opposite.
The bitterness and contempt in the post above was quite obvious.
