My new one fits in my handbag but having seen this It looks so good now as its a MAC hubby wont like it always says they are no good to mend bad workman and all that but I quite fancy it .

JeffersonCampervan Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 A bit of a joke, IMO. All hype, no substance. And you pay for the hype. no camera for video skype very little storage no USB, SD card slots It won't replace a netbook, nor an e-reader (because of the kind of screen). http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Mobile-and-Wireless/10-Reasons-Why-the-iPad-Would-Fail-Without-the-Apple-Logo-428320/ There will be (& actually already are) more options for a tablet netbook style device that will be much more capable & likely cheaper.

lennyhb Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Touch Screen tablet PC's have been around for a few years (eg: Samsung Q1) not much new in the ipod. Trying to use a PC with only a touch screen can be very frustrating you will end up plugging in a USB keyboard & mouse so now you need someone else to hold the screen for you while you operate the KM. Stick with the netbook, my NC10 is best computer purchase I've ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malc d Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I heard a good comment on the TV about these. "Another must-have for the geeksheep" - whatever technology comes up with, some people feel compelled to have one. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
