Sorry I've never used netflix before, do you mean that netflix selection in general just sucks or do they have a different selection for their Ipad app???
The selection for the ipad is the same as far as I know, but did you know that netflix doesn't stream everything, only a small selection that the movie companies allow? Sad but true.

You're right. Netflix has a poor selection of movies for streaming. And just a small percentage of them are any good. Their selection of streaming TV shows is better, but still limited. Hopefully this will improve with time. Most of the Netflix stuff I watch is still delivered by mail on DVD.
"Is the iPad a killer device? Is it a game changing device? Will you love it? The simple answer is YES?so long as you have the mindset of a 3 year old."
This was a good review, but it proves one thing that I've known all along.
The iPad is not a notebook. It is not an iPod Touch. It is a third device. Whether you think you need this third device is up to you.
The woman in the article seemed to approach the device as an alternative to a laptop. If she had seen it for what it is, and not what it isn't, she obviously loved it.
You see, Apple could market the truth, that it's not a notebook replacement, and emphasize what it does well, but then you get people asking, "do I need yet another device?"
I do need it. I think anyone that spends more than an hour a day using apps on their iPhone or iPod Touch most likely needs it too.

True. But the criticisms you have when comparing it to a laptop are being addressed by other, more powerful slates. I own an iPad but I'm pretty much going to give it over to my gf and buy a bunch of the competition for my office at this point. The advantage the iPad has though is that other slates are at least another couple of months away (if not probably longer) so I can play with my iPad a bunch and see how I can make it work for me.
I thought I'd give some feedback of this site, myPadMedia which I joined a couple of days ago for my new iPad. Since joining, I've been able to downloads the entire Harry Potter series, all the Twilight novels, a couple David Balducci books, and the comic book version of the movie 'Kick-Ass'.
There is a massive library and the downloads are fairly fast.

They're not all positive. Here's one that makes me think.
