Another reason the iPad sours me on Apple (and yes, I love apple):
What happens if you need a new battery? No worries, just send in your iPad and they'll send you a "new" one. You only need to-
"sync your iPad with iTunes to back up your contacts, calendars, email account settings, bookmarks, apps, etc." because "Apple is not responsible for the loss of information when servicing your iPad." Then when you get a new iPad all you have to do is resync all your information, movies, music, etc and reconfigure all your network settings. Simple as that!
