I saw a guy today playing with it in the tram.

He looked like a retard, holding it with both hands
and swinging it right and left. I think he was
snowboarding or something.

For gaming I prefer a PC or the Xbox. For work
issues I prefer a laptop.

The kindle is another story, but the Kindle App
on the Samsung Android phone is enough for me.

Russ: when is the RHP android app ready?

I certainly don't think an iPad is suitable for using while travelling. It is an invitation to get mugged.

That just leaves having the iPad for home/work use. There are plenty of combined touch screen tablet/laptops now on the market. Personally I would rather have one of those.

Do you mean tablets which can be attached
to a laptop structure? That sounds groovy!

Not just attached, actually converts between the two, and it is cheaper than an iPad:

I am not sure if it will just fall apart in a heap after a couple of months though.

elementary, my dear watson. a laptop is too heavy for holding it lightly in one hand while watching porn.

I tried an ipad for the first time the other day round a friends. My first thought was "can i play chess on this?" (naturally) so i went online and set up a 1min game (what better way to check response time?) I made 5 moves in 35 seconds... it's of absolutely no use to me whatsoever. 🙁

I actually think the iPad is starting to look dated already. What's with that huge black border around the edge? Apple reduced those substantially on their iMacs so why is it on the iPad?

There are a lot of variants coming out over the next year of various sizes with and without extra bits (e.g. keyboards). It'll be interesting to see what's the biggest seller.
