[DUG] Apple iPad - OT

[Jeremy North]

My reply to this on another forum.

========

meh...

"best ever browsing experience" (as long as the website doesn't need flash).

Don't see the need for such a device.

- 10 hour battery life isn't long enough considering the storage is solid state.
- No multi-tasking.

Custom processor is an interesting development though.

It is an over sized iPhone (which is an ok phone - I have one), proven
by the fact that it will scale up existing iphone apps to full screen
if you want.

The cheapest one will probably come out over here at $999 - given
apples history of screwing us (which isn't unique to them).
