Re: iPad is Coming

My problem with iPad is not in your list :)

My problem with iPad is that you can't write your own software to run on it. You can only run what Apple wants you to run. I'm a programmer, and would love to be able to build my own creature comforts into the thing -- but Apple won't let me do anything except stuff I get from their App Store.
Yes you can simply by downloading your iPhone SDK to your Mac which gives you XCode and a simulator, but you must enroll and pay $99 to get a license key that will allow you to deploy your programs to actual hardware.

You can then work in Objective-C, or by buying Monotouch - http://monotouch.net/ - in C#.

I think you should try - I think you could do some very interesting stuff with the i on it (why else should they call it iPhone?)
