[DUG] Apple iPad - OT

[Matthew Comb]

The first thing that went through my head when I looked at the apple ipad
link that was posted was a flash back to the days when the first block
telecom mobile phones came out.

The same phones that linger in old ferraris still...

I would love to see someone do a utube clip of " a day in the life " of
someone with one of these.

Walking through the CBD holding it under your arm, while everyone else is
walking around with iphones...

I wonder if poor people will strap an eePC in a backpack, and walk around
with a 19" LCD widescreen, that would be even more impressive....
