I'm just an old fart and the iPad works great for me. I love 4.2, its great. I really like to be able to print. It only cost me $120 to buy the right printer, heck I needed a new one anyway. I don't understand why some have so many problems. My wifi and 3G both work good. I never have a problem with iTunes, heck I even have 600 gig of music. Sometimes I think its operator error.
When they come here and make statements like that, they are either a) A troll, or b) Not real bright. Millions of buyers are satisfied with their purchase, but if you do not have a clue about how you will use it, then that is a personal issue.
