Jailbreaking is definitely and absolutely legal. U.S. courts have ruled so, and such a ruling tends to set an international precedent, since laws in this area are pretty much unified across the globe. Bottomline, it's your device, you bought it, and nobody can tell you what you can or can't do with it. I wouldn't worry about the warranty either. I've had certified Apple techs tell me that a jailbreak cannot mess up an iOS device to the point where you have to bring it in (i.e. you can always use the restore function), and if it could, then it would be messed up so badly that not even Apple techs would find out that it was due to a jailbreak.

I love my iPad and use it for all kinds of things, but it's definitely a gadget and not comparable to a netbook or other full-featured computer. It's not a shrinked netbook, but a super-sized smartphone. You're restricted to a fixed, proprietary, closed operating system with a controlled market. They have their uses, but they're not the same as those of full-fledged tablet PCs that can run real PC operating systems.

As for music, the iPad can do everything an iPod can. It's just quite a bit bigger so you probably won't carry it around in your trouser pocket

I would compare it with a netbook, especially if to add some physical keyboard (what i usually do)

Well, it's already possible to pair a bluetooth keyboard (and a mouse, if you jailbreak it) to the iPad.

Kensington makes a case with a built-in bluetooth keyboard for $50, in fact.

Somewhat ironically, my wife just bought an iPad yesterday.
Sorry for the late interjection, but I've always wondered how the heck people jailbreak devices. I know that it's perfectly legal to do (as the product is owned by the purchaser), but something seems off about it. While tampering with the OS seems fine and dandy, I worry that the warranty will be ripped away. Also, I'm concerned that any one of these tablet companies could come around and ultimately tell me that jailbreaking IS against the law. Would speaking with an attorney concerning copyright infringement and the possibility of a patent lawsuit be helpful? Many of these loopholes are very confusing.

Either way, for FUTURE reference, I wouldn't mind jailbreaking my iPad. I just don't have any idea how to do so. =P

While that's definitely true, I wasn't inquiring about what iPads were. I was curious to know about the jailbreaking (OS altering) aspect of owning an iPAD or smart phone. Do YOU know anything about it?

Its basically a big ipod touch/iphone. Its a great device but I rather stick to my smartphone or labtop.

i like apple ipad. It is so impressive. they cannot get virus.The iPad runs on Apple Mac operating system. They do not need antivirus.

Ooooh, heh heh, hi Elmer, it does look like Nan Kogan but it's in fact Nan Kouan. I imagine Kouan is the French transliteration of what appears in English as Kwan!

The ipad is actually an ok media player though you miss out on a lot of functions but you gain on some. I enjoy mine for music, movies and other entertainment stuff like games but I still turn to my computer for everything in between. It is a good solution to get you through boring traffic or long flights but I do not see its use on a day to day basis. Probably put you to sleep if you fancy classical music.

No, it's not a complete desktop or even laptop replacement, but for portability and ease of use, it is a nice gadget.

I assume the Lynyrd Skynyrd and Allman Brothers albums are further down your screen!? (just kidding!)

Seriously, I love Tabu Ley Rochereau, Asha Bhosle, Jack Costanzo.....and I love old Chinese and Japanese music based on pentatonics, so I'm very interested in the Nan-Kogan album I see in your device. I can't seem to find anything through a quick Google search. Can you tell me more about it?

Thanks!
