Ya, that's about the best way to explain it. An iPad is just an overpriced tablet unless you are a run-a-of-mill person, who is pleased with the App Store, looking for a dumbed down tablet. It does 98% of the **** I want to do very easy and efficiently, but the other 2% is frustrating. I'm happy with it, mainly because I feel like AT&T is apple biassed and apple products get like some sort of priority with the cell towers.
