The physical button on my iPad 2 feels loose and flimsy. Removing that increases durability. Assuming iPad 3 has this as well.

Funny how my Droid has no cheap feeling buttons, nor has any other device I've owned with buttons... so logic sort of dictates that this is a planned obsolescence here to make you feel that physical buttons are not "Good enough" and you "Need" to have everything be touch.

Can't wait till you have to reboot it when it crashes... now with no physical buttons if the device goes all pearshaped due to an app or whatever (iPads/iPod Touches do indeed crash and occasionally require a reboot...) you're going to be very very very SOL (normally I'd remove the battery to reset it bu- OH WAIT! you can't.).

So the solution is.... what wait for the battery to die, charge it, and hope for the best? What? Seriously, I want to know what Apple's back-up plan is for WHEN these devices crash.

I've only ever played with one at the store, but I'm pretty sure you use the power button on the top of the device for hard reboots, not the Home button.

I don't really see a downside to a capacitive it. The next iteration will probably support multitasking, so accidentally hitting the home button isn't some big issue.
