I’ve been enjoying my iPad 3G for 3 weeks now and I must say I love it. It’s not that I’m an Apple Fanboy (not completely anyway) but because living in a city like Sydney (Australia, just in case) with a surprisingly little amount of free WiFi hotspots I can enjoy my time while on the train. I agree a bigger size could help my eyes a lot and less weight would certainly help my back, it becomes a bit annoying after the first 20 minutes. But I’m not really sure that many people would go for it, it would be sort of a “boutique” tablet for just a few of us.

i want a tablet because i don’t want to carry a netbook or laptop around, and all the other equipment, the tablet would require less space, i can take it anywhere, ipad is not for me, i’m not too apple friendly and i don’t want to spend too much time learning how to use it nor do i want to take a class on how to use apple. i’ve seen other tablets on the internet, is unfortunate not many electronic stores have any of the multiple tablets in the market, they only have ebook readers. tablets are so star trek, i remember the characters using them, sooo cool !

As a choral musician, the iPad works great for our scores, which tend to be in octavo format. As a result, programs like UnrealBook have completely replaced my use of regular music (although we still buy a complete library set of 60 copies of every piece of music we perform). However, for instrumentalists, a larger iPad would be ideal.

I don’t get the 7″ format…for smaller use, the iPod Touch and iPhone are fine. I’d rather have the option of an iPad with a 13″ diagonal viewing area, the same as my MacBook.

And as for the iPad’s weight, I’m sure the next version will be lighter, but the iPad is still lighter than any MacBook, and lighter than most of the hardcover books in my collection. I don’t hear people complaining about the weight of a hardcover book, so I don’t get the complaint about the iPad…unless you’re comparing it to a Kindle, and if you are, then it is “apples to oranges” anyway.

I also want a larger screen. I want one with pen and touch input.

Your third point is the only reason I want a tablet. I have also been disapointed in the small screen sizes as I have use the largest size intuos for years and have always wanted to just sit back with an endless sketch pad with unlimited tools. The second a 17″ tablet wtih great screen resolution and great capability for sketching, photoshop and illustator is the month I miss rent.
