Yeah that really sucks for no built in camera. It would be a very good video conference device. I do not understand why they would not add that. It is not like it would take up too much more room. Odd.
I browse a lot on my iPhone even in the house, so I can see myself doing this quite a bit with an iPad. Also to remote control PCs, etc. Talk about a nice remote
The flash issue is kinda silly too. I think this is more an Adobe issue, but might be resolved in a future upgrade as is rumored for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
The multi-tasking does not bother me as it does not on my iPhone. I'd rather have stability to be honest on a device such as this. This is not a PC replacement. It is more of an additional tool or toy
Definitely not bad for the price. But as I tend to do, I'll probably wait until the 2nd gen too as I did with the iPhone (actually 3rd gen).
