“pending release of Micrsoft Courier which is certainly getting mIore positive hype than the iPad.”

” pending” as in “”cancelled”

No many improvements would make its more useful, multi tasking, decent email interface, file download support, decent memory, USB/Firewire ports, HD capable screen, no video conferencing, yada yada yada. I know there are a lot of changes coming in the iPhone OS 3.2 release but thats only part of the problem.

I will get one to “play” with and then dump it off on eBay or return it within the 2 week period allowed under UK consumer laws.

I have been trialling Windows Mobile 7 on a PDA for development testing, value for money and what can be done through the SDK and Mobile framework puts the iPhone OS to shame. Then theres the pending release of Micrsoft Courier which is certainly getting more positive hype than the iPad.

So you believe it’s only useful if it can run Windows applications?

Finally someone with some common sense, an Apple product that is actually useful… http://news.softpedia.com/news/Apple-iPad-Can-Run-Windows-7-133714.shtml

Oh I see, pad as in sanitary towel; that is so unexpected and genuinely witty (if you are 14).

How about the Xbox? Rhymes with “cocks”. Snigger.

Ah yes, Click On-line, “The BBC’s flagship technology programme”, possibly the most puerile dumbed-down technology TV show I have ever witnessed (once, then never watched again).

So, according to their genius presenter, it’s all about the extra keyboard…. I’m surprised Jobs hasn’t called him up and offered him a senior position as a strategist.

You may not like them, but Apple are not dumb. They reshaped the music industry with the iPod, shook up the phone industry with the iPhone, I would not bet against them doing the same with the book/magazine and gaming industries with the iPad.

Like the first iPod and iPhone, it’s not a perfect product, but it will sell enough to make people want to create content for it. I think it will take off. Next version will have more memory, speed, features and lower price. I’ll take one of those (probably).

Shhhh, not too loud!
She who must be obeyed loves her 24″ classic white iMac; and I loved it too before I handed it off to her. Small footprint, beautiful matte ips monitor, whisper quiet; what’s not to like? Got it cheap too, persuaded the local shop into a heavy discount when the shiny metal models superceded it.
