They fixed the iPad already!

Apple iPad

PCWorld has some details about the soon-to-be-launched iPad. With a device like iPad, maybe fixed is a bit too optimistic, but Apple surely has addressed some issues.

  • iPad will support MS Exchange server.
  • iWork app will support exporting to MS compatible office file formats.
  • iPad will have a volume control and a screen orientation lock button.
  • iPad will support the Motion JPEG AVI format. So those movies you take from your digital cameras will work right out of the box.

If any of these resolves any of your doubts wait till April 3 or just pre-order!

But mind you, still no flash, still no video conference support. Like you even care :)
