I can't be bothered with any of it.  Whatever you buy is obsolete after a week.
Read this and thought of this video (NSFW)

 :lol:  That was good.  I like Adam & Joe.

And I'm usually considered an Apple fanboy

Those Hitler clips are funny. 

But I do think it's a shame that a film as brilliant as Downfall may end up being best remembered as a source for YouTube comedy clips.   :|

I was in our local iStore yesterday getting a keyboard for my MacBook. There were 3 customers in front of me. Each conversation went like this:-

"When are you getting those iPads in?"
"Due in at the end of March"
"How much will they be?"
"We haven't had the UK price yet but I would guess $ to £ would be about it"
"Does it do XXXXX (insert your own geeky phrase)?"
"No idea - we've not had any training yet"
"Oh... errrr, umm - thanks!"

Repeat 3 times until I got to the front of the queue

"So, how many times have you had that conversation today?"
"About 100...."

How have I lived without this gadget?  It's like a laptop but only does half the things but will be twice the price!

Genius!

Afgan Dave, don't worry you can buy stick on protective screens for them, the sky is the limit with the locations you can take these babies, you can even use you chopper on the touch screen to fast forward your clips to the good bits :D

Or use clingfilm - super-cheap and easily replaceable anywhere in the world!  :P

I was eagerly awaiting this, and i've got to say, i'm really disappointed by the lack of multitasking... for me it's a dealbreaker, even with the tempting price point. Also, it's gonna be pretty hard to type with it whilst you hold it-- unless you type with 1 hand, which just seems awkward!

A real shame for me, they could have got it so right, but they've missed the mark by a fair way with this one!

There's probably going to be a lot of one handed browsing whilst using it...

I think its pretty pointless. Your better off getting a macbook or something and if you've already got one then why would you buy an iPad.

And like Jason Manford said "what ever happened to those old things we had...you know books"
