What are some serious deficiencies you've found with your iPad?

  Weight is the killer factor for me. I haven't played with a fire, but the iPad is annoying to hold for any significant period of time without leaning or propping it against something. That said, a Kindle 3 is only 250g and an iPad is 600g which is what the comparison is in my mind. I am not sure where the ~400g Fire lies in that regard.

  As someone else noted, weight is a huge one. In fact the first iPad I bought I returned because it was too heavy. Later got an iPad2, but weight is still an issue. Web browsing kind of sucks. Like the YouTube experience is crazy buggy. I find the keyboard hard to use for anything, but the smallest notes. Getting content on the device, e.g., movies I've transcoded, is an exercise in pulling out my hair. Tedious and time consuming. And this is just me doing stuff on it that people say I should be able to do well on the device. I don't even include the deficiencies for things everyone knows that it doesn't do well -- so it gets a free pass on it.
