The main disadvantages are
1) a bit expensive for what you get
2) no usb ports
3) only apple connection
4) no camera
5) no multitasking (e.g. you can't play music while you do something else)
6) no flash
7) web applications not fully available

On the plus side, the pdf reader seems pretty good.

I personally find it too restrictive as a general purpose machine. The only attraction for me would be instead of a Kindle, which it beats hands down.

There are other, cheaper, tablets out there.

Think what you are going to use it for.
With no USB ports and not able to run flash I think that says it all for me really, not worth the money.

I suppose until they come out with a second or third gen one I’ll stick to the laptop.

Thanks for the info lads, really appreciate it.
