[DUG] Apple iPad - OT

[Sean Cross]

$800+ for a giant iPod touch?

It still has all the faults of the iPod/iPhone
No flash
No multitasking
No access to the file system
No printing (I assume)

If it was $500 nz, I might look at it for reading books but that is still painful due to the lack of file system access.
I might look at it for work as the new apps I create are all web based but the lack of printing support make that a no goer.

And I can't keep a straight face while saying it's name.  iPad sounds like a feminine hygiene product.
Regards
