Uh, don't buy an iPad

Or so advises the handy flow chart below.  I know, I know.  I've read the reviews and it sounds so great.  But consider what it's lacking - multitasking, an ergonomically workable "keyboard", etc.  And what about battery life?  How long before the iPad will have to be tethered to an AC outlet 90% of the time?

My fabulous Windoze Vista machine goes blank at least twice a day. Also Windoze Explorer fails every once in a while and I can't control my speaker volume. It's also running low on hard drive space and the battery lasts about an hour and the machine cost us about $700.
The iPad is looking real good right about now.

Sounds like almost anything would sound good. Good luck with it.
