Mine arrived yesterday. I had a problem with the screen. It had a life of it's own, it was clicking options as if i pressed them but i was no where near the screen. Called apple this morn, they suggested restoring it and exchanging if that fails, but the problem seems to have corrected itself. I have to say I absolutly love this device. All the negative comments re what it can't do mean nothing when you have it in your hands. Love it!!!!!

Mine arrived yesterday and so far so good fully lives upto what I expected but faster than I imagined. Probably won't be using laptop for a while for web browsing. Took it to work today and everyone liked it with a couple ordering now they've seen & played with one. Love how simple creating good looking slideshows is, people thought I'd made it at home & imported to ipad!!

Just read the review, you can tell you struggled to find actual cons since almost everything you mentioned could easily be fixed with a software update or patch! shame about usb though :(
