The iPad officially hit Apple stores in Canada on Friday, and like seemingly all much-hyped products, it comes with a healthy dose of controversy.
On one hand are the all-too-familiar complaints about pricing for the device's 3G wireless capabilities. On the other are criticisms that Apple is trying to maintain too tight a control over what users can and can't do with their gadgets, or that the company is trying to remake the web to its liking.
Either way, the iPad is generating buzz that many electronics makers wish they could get for their products.
