Apple announces iPad touchscreen tablet

Uh huh huh ! It's fun to see how my opinion changed about that thing after trying one in an Apple Store.

We are actually using them in our products at work. Drillers on the oil rigs can now use them to control HPU functions, Bop Control systems and loads of other equipment. Very good fun!

I wonder if BP was using these to run there rig aswell lol and if they screwed up would apple be liable?

but on a serious note once i get past its an apple product, who use a flaky excuse so they can manipulate what you put on your i-product and not fall foul to monopolising the system.

That its a iphone for the partially sighted without the phone.

That its dearer than a notebook/laptop which has more functionality and is more practical for family use as a whole.

@ 700g - 1Kg how long can a child actually play games on it holding it up to tilt the screen? 30 mins as tested using my mates 7yr old son.

taking the above into consideration and that we already have the iphone, I have to agree with my mum after i spent 20 mins showing her how to use it and the price when she said "how much? are they for real why would anyone other than someone who needs an extension for his penis buy that for that much" . though they are not the exact words it is close enough and was funny watching the shop assistants face as she blurted it out.
