Apple iPad (32GB)

Pros: 1GHz CPU, iPhone Application support, redesigned Mail application, Gorgeous screen, Incredibly thin.

Cons: Heavier than one would think, iPhone App upscaling isn't always the best, NO FLASH SUPPORT, Wi-Fi problems with first shipments (mine included)

Summary: Some have called the iPad a "Faustian Deal with the Devil", and they may be right - you're sacrificing openness and the freedom to choose what you want to do with the system for something that is amazingly, perfectly good at what it's meant for. It's not meant for video chats, multitasking or as a replacement for a full desktop system. It's meant to be a portable media device, for web browsing, music listening and video watching. It may not be as open as Android, but Android is nowhere near as slick and easy to use as this device is. It is not meant to be a "Jack of All Trades" as a computer is, but it is a master at those things it can do.

-- As to multitasking, while it was not available when the CNet review was written, it was announced for iPhone OS 4, and I can attest to how well it works.
