Well in the US Apple support is fabulous, Jayanand, and since I'm
unlikely to cart one of these to India I'm not worried.

As to software - you're kidding, right? I mean are  you completely
disconnected from the number of apps available for the iPhone? They
all run on the iPad, maybe a bit bloated looking but they run and work
just fine. There are a lot of pretty slick games on the iPhone too and
even more coming. This machine is FAST compared to the iPhone, even
the GS.

So I think you're awfully quick to dis the iPad.
