104. Here is a MAJOR limitation on Pages for the IPAD
actually two of them.

It does not do end notes and footnotes (Which happens to be something I need)

Nor does it track changes in a document... again something I need.

It is not that they will not write these two items into the program, if need be... but shall we say that the IPAD is not exactly useful for academic\legal writing?

So that is one major point where it fails to deliver.

Yep, the multi tasking is coming (OS 4), but this only tells me that they released this before it was ready for prime time.

And yes, it will be a good device for some things... music production perhaps, some art production. But it sucks for others.

I know you LOVE apple products. I USE a macbook (typing from it right now) and my IPOD touch is my PDA... but that does not mean I am blind to the obvious and nasty limitations currently to the IPAD. A netbook killer it ain't.

Oh and on the we are idiots department, who was the genius that did not include a camera on it?
