I was looking at my own reflection for a good amount of time. Outside in the sunlight, it was nearly impossible to see the screen (kindle does a little better outside). Interesting. I have had no issues using it in the sun. I do agree my eReader is better in the sun. Not sure I would use it in direct sunlight for a log time. The screen got smudged fairly quick. Even with completly clean hands there was a bit of difficulty keeping the screen print free. You can't just wipe it like a phone because the screen is big. I don't think any device where you touch the screen with your finger will solve this. If this is a show stopper for you today, it will be in 10 years. The ipad has no rubber feet. It slid a bit when i was messing around on it. The one I was using was in a case, so no issues with this. You'll need a carrying case for it because it's too big to carry in your pocket but it doesn't close on itself like a laptop/netbook making it very confusing to travel about with. The case the one I was using, made it look like a book. So it's as confusing to carry as a book would be. I know many people who carry a day planer everywhere they go. This would be the same kind of thing. the RAM could be an issue but it didn't really impede my experience. The battery life is awesome so i have no problem with that. The fact that it can only run one application at a time was a bit of a let down. I would like a bit more. We will see if they fix this in two days. If Apple does not, the jail breaking community will. The upscaling of old iphone apps was sort of bad, but again that isn't a huge issue. The price for ipad apps being higher does sorta bother me though. The high price will fade. it's just because it's new. iPhone apps cost a lot when they first came out too. I expect them to come down in price and be the same in a few months. Some might stay a little higher, because some will cost more to make. And last- the ipad is more for using instead of creating. You can't really expect to do much writing on it like a netbook. It's good if you want to browse/watch vids/tweet/read email/read books/etc. Depending on what you want to create:
All of these issues could probably be addressed in the ipad2.0
