i find it unfortunate that, as computer-killer-ish as the ipad is, it still requires a computer to do so much -- including to initially set up. not being able to update itself, print, or grab photos from a memory card (amongst other issues, like flash) is really limiting. i gave one to my mom (in a different way than when i give it to rex's mom) hoping shed no longer need to worry about standard computer issues. while that's mostly true, it's just annoying that it's not 100% (especially cuz something like an SD slot, printer port, or other "quick" addons would seemingly make it so)
