I bought an iPad about two years ago, after hearing years of hype about the quality of Apple products. I use it mostly for web browsing, and the thing that shocks me the most about it is how many mainstream sites simply don't work right in the browser. (By "browser" I mean Safari or Chrome - they seem to have the same issues.) Sites like EBay, Google News, Google Books, and SlashDot all have glitches that either make them unusable or seriously frustrating to use. News sites take forever to load and tend to crash the browser after a few minutes of use. If you're a first-time buyer and you're considering getting an iPad, slap yourself, take a minute to breathe, and go look at some Android tablets instead.
