Have you opted into the HTML5 trial? Http://www.youtube.com/html5Because it's not only a video player. the aspect ratio makes it more natural, imo, for reading books, working on documents, viewing/editing photos (which are generally not in 16:9), etc.

I don't know about that ! A4 has a ratio of 1.41, and my newspapers fit perfectly on 16:9. Photos on SLR's are 1.5 aspect ratio. Books don't matter, because they fit to whatever you use (Kindle, etc).
IMHO Apple got it wrong, 16:9 is better for the general stuff too !!!
Just my opinion !

Ipods cannot do that??! LOL.
Apple have pretty much blocked all methods of file transfer, that is why the iPad does not have a USB port, microSD card slot, etc.
This is part of the whole Apple philosophy, so it is not going to change - but with SJ gone you never know - but not yet, this would have been designed while he was still alive.
Of course, it is this philosophy that makes Apple useless to me - I wouldn't buy an iPad 3 for R1000, what would I do with it ?

Have to disagree. I think the 4:3 works way better in portrait, 16:9 is too skinny. The iPad actually has a larger screen in area than the 10.1" diagonal tablets.
We will have to agree to disagree ! IMO the 16:9 screens work better for everything.
Not sure how you can disagree, I have just quoted you examples of stuff that doesn't work on 1.33 aspect ratio, like A4, newspapers, photos, videos. What more do you want ?

Key issue is when will these puppies appear on the SA shelves? I've been holding off on getting the 2 so need to get my hands on the 3 asap.
55+ million iPads sold since 2010 and Apple is wrong on screen aspect ratio?
How many 16:9 tables sold in compassion?
I have played with 16:9 tablet and it's uncomfortable, it's like reading on over-sized envelope. Never mind portrait postilion.
I want tablet not an envelope sized gadget!
16:9 and 4:3 are Hollywood invention.
16:9 may be good for movies, but not good form factor for tablets. 4:3 is right and Apple nailed it while others don't.
I'm hardly an apple fanboy but I think that's a ridiculous comment. Most people would take that kind of tablet for R1000 or even R2000. The file transfer thing is annoying but its hardly a showstopper... plenty of ways to move files on to the iPad.
What would you do with it ? I don't know hey... what wouldn't you do because most people I know can't tare them selves away from them

OK, maybe I will pay R2000 (max), but then I will still use it as a gift - couldn't use it myself.

The only 3 certainties in life are -death,taxes and iPads flying off the shelves
Mine can
Just did a quick and nasty between the ipad and Galaxy Tab 10.1 for my most common aspect ratios and imo one isnt significantly better than the other - on the ipad you get vertical black bands, on the tab they're horizontal.
iPad
Tab (16:10)
So that's how I'd disagree.
