That's not my personal review. It's a review from the perspective of my wife and in-laws. They don't use smartphones and are the kind of users that like to do things in familiar ways. I think it's interesting that kids take to the device more easily than adults. Part of that is simpler usage, but part of it is not having preconceived notions about how to use the device. It also makes me think that a certain class of users is going to have to take some time with the iPad. My wife hated our netbook when I bought it; now I have to pry it from her hands. I'm not disappointed at all in the iPad, but then again my expectations weren't extremely high. I knew typing would be a chore. I knew that there were going to be ergonomic challenges. I wasn't expecting the browser to be on par with the desktop. Also, I mostly bought it to develop for.
