1. Slow is as slow is. — Unless the UI is completely redone for touch.

Actually, the processor/graphics on the iPad, is very fast compared to other tablets... and the complaint seems to come from someone who has never, ever had his hands on one.

2. “The iPad does not run common office productivity tools,” — iWork, completely redone for touch

And able to read and write Office files... 3. No camera on an iPad. — This is a bad one, OTOH it’s good for places that don’t allow cameras.

Which the vast majority of enterprise businesses do not. I also expect to see a third-party add on camera available soon for those that want one, with a flexible head that will clip and point where you want it to, connecting either by bluetooth or through the dock connector. If i had the expertise, i'd be designing it right now. 5. No Flash on iPad. — I’ll give them that one. I don’t like flash either, but it’s there.

Nope, no Flash... but then the idiot goes on to say there will be no Web video at all... ignoring every other web video format that is supported... excellently.

8. Speaking of money, there is no money in the company budget to pay for iPads.

Yeah, and before there were viable smart phones, there was no money in company budgets for smart phones either.

Yeah, these people seem to equate Flash with YouTube, forgetting that YouTube serves H.264 for Apple products. I can't get one because I would plan to let my kids use it, and my kids love their online Flash games. A netbook worked fine for that.

And I'm betting there will be a camera in V2 of the iPad.
