Comment by Franco Folini on February 4, 2010 at 9:03am - I think the major problem with the iPad is that it's a close system (both hardware and software). It only works with Apple computers. While this is OK for an iPhone (I own one), in my opinion can be a significant obstacle in the adoption of the iPad. My (almost) secret hope is that a big failure of the iPad will force Apple to adopt an open approach on all its products. But I don't have any fact to support my wish.

I do not think the iPad is that great. Have you ever tried to make a simple sketch on it?
That may not be it's primary target application, but it is a design basic it cannot offer. Had it an active wacom style digitizer, would I immediately order one.
