There's at least one big difference. You probably didn't make bread before and now aren't making bread without the bread maker, while the iPad lets people do what they're already doing all the time, better: looking at pictures, watching youtube, browsing facebook, reading email, etc.

Does the iPad youtube app work, by the way? I can't remember a time where my iPhone's youtube app has successfully streamed an entire video down without dying at some random point (over wifi - 3G seems to work but the quality is abysmal).
Yeah, it works fine for me. I agree, the iPhone version is seriously jacked up, but the iPad one is beautiful.
Yes. It works beautifully. It's appalling how good the HD looks.
XGA is the new HD.

How do you get it to load the HD versions? I'm seeing 720p and 1080p versions on my Mac but looking at the quality of the video on my iPad it looks like it streams the 360p version.
Really, never had any problems on my 1G Touch
Just checked one vid, it streamed without issue.
That said, I've never had an issue with my iPhone's youtube app either, so I don't know if there's something fundamentally different about my network and yours.
