The problem is that the iPad battery is so powerful that it needs more
current to charge than most other devices. Not all USB ports are
designed to provide that much power.
So AFAIK it's not some dastardly plot by apple.

I got the 64GB wifi version the 3G version is not out yet.
It feels very tactile, It's a great multimedia device. The games are
good as well. Need For Speed was very impressive.
The big downside is it won't charge on a PC USB socket. It needs a
Mac or use the wall charger !!!!!!! That has pissed me off more than
anything. Everything else is great. My wife who is not normally a
gadget person can't put it down :)
I can see a need for a 4G version with a camera. Hopefully that will
be out before chrstimas.

How does it feel in your hand? Also, which version did you get?

Hi,
So who else got their iPad today?
What are the must have apps and the ones to avoid?
I am impressed so far. The battery life is very good. I am still not
below 70% left with 4 hours solid use.
Yes it might just be a big iPod touch but I travel a lot and using
this
as an entertainment system on the plane will be nice. At the moment I
have been using my Motorola Milestone and the bigger screen will be
great.
