TNW Apple has a post on Ten (big and small) Things That Suck on the iPad.
Boris’ overall impression with the device is positive and the issues described are tagged as a ‘no deal breaker’
Note that #6 (No International Support) relates to the iTunes support, not international language support which was covered here.
Here is the conclusion:
The iPad still rocks. It is an amazing device and for $499 you would be crazy not to get one (if you can afford it).
The issues described here will undoubtedly get fixed over time and while annoying are no deal breaker.
The issue list
- You can’t hover
- Lots of HTML rendering issues
- There is no ‘up’ or ‘down’
- Apps are re-arranging themselves
- No International support?
- No stereo sound?
- No Settings for iWork’s Apps?
- Wi-Fi is buggy and unpredictable
- iPhone Apps don’t rotate
- No ‘No-Flash’ indication
