If i can get an ipad w/o a having a mac, then I will agree it is akin to a microwave. I can't buy one for my parents, since they have no mac. how would they update it? activate it, etc?

It doesn't update over the air?

I know I've read you can activate it in the store before taking it home.

(Edit: I know my mom has an iPad and no Mac.)
