Early reviews: iPad is 'beautiful,' 'blazingly fast,' has 'a touch of genius' (B

Ben Patterson - Well, it looks like Apple can relax. Sure, early reviewers of the long-awaited iPad are careful to point out the tablet's glaring deficiencies: no camera, no Flash support, no multitasking, no USB ports. Those negatives aside, however, reviewers from the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, PC Magazine, and other publications fairly showered the iPad with praise, calling it a "winner," "blazingly fast," "stunning to look at," and a potential game-changer that "just feels good." The New York Times takes a more guarded stance, but otherwise, we're talking raves here.
