Ipad, overpriced oversized ipod?

Well I have been really busy with school but I am back and I am starting by ripping into the ipad. Now before you call me an apple hater, I have a aluminum macbook and will soon be getting an iphone,s o no bias here. I personally think that the Apple Ipad is a big fail on apples part. when we got word of it we were hoping for it to finally be apples response to the tablet pc's. what we got is a giant ipod with optional 3g and no calling capability,with ridiculous pricing.

basically it looks like a huge ipod, from the design to the firmware. I and other apple fans were all hoping for either a full version of osX or at least a spin off of it. No, what we got was a tweaked version of the ipod firmware, at a computer price. no USB ports, no firewire, no support for flash.

I say we shall wait for apple to release a real tablet, try to stay away from this thing, I smell disappointment in the air. I will just stick to my iphone for now thank you. If you want a tablet I suggest checking some good ones out that sony has to offer. I looked at one in Best Buy and they look pretty sleek, keyboard, touchscreen and everything!
