iPad Reviews: Raves For Apple's Latest Product

First Posted: 5/31/10   Updated: 5/25/11

iPad reviews from technology writers began surfacing Wednesday evening, with most offering glowing appraisals of Apple's latest product. However, one caveat was consistent: iPad's inability to play flash video.

Check out what critics from the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, USA Today, Chicago Sun-Times, PC Mag, Telegraph, TIME, BoingBoing, and Engadget have to say in their iPad reviews in the slideshow below.

Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg

Walt Mossberg, the personal technology reporter for The Wall Street Journal, suggested that the iPad could help touchscreen computers overtake the mouse:
For the past week or so, I have been testing a sleek, light, silver-and-black tablet computer called an iPad. After spending hours and hours with it, I believe this beautiful new touch-screen device from Apple has the potential to change portable computing profoundly, and to challenge the primacy of the laptop. It could even help, eventually, to propel the finger-driven, multitouch user interface ahead of the mouse-driven interface that has prevailed for decades.
