Apple Inc.'s hot new iPad multimedia device, which Chief Executive Steve Jobs has touted as "magical and revolutionary," is a success. Apple sold one million iPads in the first month following its April launch, twice as fast as the iPhone in the same period.
Many iPad owners say they love their devices—except for one big problem: the gadget is all screen. With no keyboard, users have to tap or drag their fingers across the iPad's 9.7-inch screen to make things happen on it. That creates big smudges.
