Jailbreak the thing, like any techie worth his salt has done on his iPhone. I'm 
pretty sure jailbeoken iPads already exist,  removing the walls from that

To be specific, the iPAD provides a clearly differentiated approach to the

consumers who do not want or need to remain tightly coupled to the past.

A touching analysis, Craig.

And the real analysis:

The iPad offers an alternative to the complex computing of today,
taking consumers back to the walled garden of controlled pay-for
content, zero choice, and lemming-like experience - brought to you by
the same company who promoted the single-button mouse!
