There are apps that let you text. Lack of 1080 HD video sucks. It doesn't need an extra battery when the one it has lasts 10-12 hours. It will be able to use many external devices, although it does suck that you have to buy a peripheral to use it.
After using the iPad for a while, and previously saying that it was stupid, I changed my mind. It does not suck. There are some drawbacks, but the damn thing is very good at what it was designed to do.
The Electribe application is freaking awesome. I can get rid of my REAL Electribe now (sadly).

For me it doesn't do anything I can't do on my phone... especially when the HTC EVO comes out... I am not a fan of the OS AT ALL, so it really offers me nothing. IF MS Courier lives up to its hype , I may look into it, but it will probably be too much of a niche device as well...
If I can't have a REAL OS, then I'd rather just use my phone... which is why I won't even buy a device like the Gemini... why build a bulky not too portable device that uses the SAME OS as a phone and offers MARGINAL performance increases? NO THANKS
