toxo Decent tablet PCs have been around for ages, surely?

Nope, credit has to go to Apple for finding the niche as always - I don't believe there have been many (if any) tablets of this form in the past. They've always been closer to laptops with the swivel and flip down type screen with a proper keyboard. Also they've always had a stylus as well to date so haven't provided the experience that a slim, finger friendly "just screen" tablet can Smile

Although to be honest if someone makes one with a proper keyboard that's still relatively slim with a capacitive touchscreen, I'd be interested :biggrin:

I've seen some pretty nice slim Sony ones in use by a lecturer and some students at the Uni that I reckon would do the job. But as I don't have an SC430 it's a bit of a moot point Smile

if the iPad had usb ports that you could connect a keyboard/mouse up to and use it in a dock then i could nearly justify it's purpose, but that said i have basically just detailed what a laptop/netbook is so

But it can't run anything useful!! Great, you could have a vuvuzela app running in the middle of your dashboard :Chair: or iPint gurgling away when you go round a corner.

(Yes, I know it can store loads of movies, music, videos and other media but there are 1000 other double din car stereos that share this functionality. And yes, the screen is bigger than those, but it's also a stupid resolution so you can't watch HD stuff on it to make good use of the larger screen!)

Lol exactly, it's basically just a web browser, email and media device, so what a phone can do but bigger. When tablets running Windows 7 come out in the next few months, they'll make the iPad look really silly.

But not as silly as Jake Humphrey has looked brandishing his BBC iPad about on the F1 coverage for the last 4 races!

I didn't think it looked too bad (compared to his previous clipboard) until last week when he had it in some sort of case - it looked ridiculous!

I confess I didn't see it last week... had to watch the F1 through adverts because I was in France! Philistines!
