Well had a look at the ipad, nice, but some serious disadvantges.....
NO USB
NO Card reader
NO Webcam
Probably 3 of the things people will mainly use on a laptop/netbook....
The limited storage is a minus esp if you are an avid watcher of downloadable stuff....
Plus with the robbers running the mobile (cell) phone network deciding to curb the amount you can download without paying
here in the not so distant future puts the lid on Steve Jobs utopian web ideals....
But, I wouldn't turn one down, it is nice (and I probably ranted about all this before).. And I just got hold of a HP TC1100 running XP tablet and to me that is what a tablet should be, USB, card slot, decent wifi, expandable with RAM and hard drive, and it would look even better with an apple style OS which is what I am going to try... (rambling off ho-hum)...
