iPad, looking past the hype...

I've always been a big fan of Apple products because they have a strong foundation in industrial design, the iPad is no exception. As with all first generation products I suggest waiting until at least rev 2.0 before buying but so far the reviews have been positive from an industrial design perspective but come on you can only run one app at a time? The only time I'm running one app is when I just powered up and have yet to launch the 2nd app. Seems silly to me.

Gizmodo has a great review of the iPad, see for yourself: http://gizmodo.com/5508895/understanding-the-ipads-industrial-design
