No flash support is a deal breaker for me.

Got mine when I was in the USA last month - it's just the WiFi version, but I decided I didn't really need the 3G version and yet another data plan - I have a cunning plan for using a wireless broadband SIM I have anyway, not that I'll be using it away from a WiFi connection that often!!

Impressions so far - friggin luv it!! It's very quick, the screen is really responsive and it's not too bad to type stuff on - it certainly feels weird going back to my iPhone's little keys for texts etc. though. You can already get some great apps for it, though some of them are considerably more expensive than for iPhone - my suggestion is to get a US iTunes account for apps if you can and use iTunes gift cards from http://www.maximuscards.com/ to top it up.

If you like gadgets, you just gotta have one :-D

this would only work if you had the 3G version and a sim card slot in it correct?

glad to hear your enjoying it, and that the speed is great on it

question, have you jail broken it?

I have read reports of people cutting down normal SIMs to fit into the mini-SIM slot on the 3G versions, but I've actually got a 3 wireless broadband dongle which I used for a period where I couldn't get any broadband in my new apartment building - so I'm gonna use the SIM from that in one of these:

It'll also be handy for a portable WiFi hotspot for my laptop if I need it out and about and for our house in Merimbula, where broadband is a challenge - my brother has an iPad too and has already tested one of these with it and it works a treat.

I haven't jail broken the iPad - didn't do that with my iPhone either - just think it creates a few more problems than it solves and I don't mind paying for my apps - without that we eventually wouldn't get cool new gadgets or new apps!!

iPad = highly recommended in my book ;-P

Already have one too

My brother bought it back from the US for me. Love it, great for movies an e-books/magazines etc.

I'd have to see and use one first before buying one, but very interested in it.
