re: The Apple iPad Thread
I dont mean to slate Apple or indeed their users but lets face it, it wouldn`t matter how bad/lacking in functionality it might be because people will still buy it in their droves. The Apple name alone will see to that.
Like any new toy on the market though it might be better waiting a couple of generations before buying one, if you must of course.
Touchscreens of any description dont seem to have a very long life span here at home without being damaged in some way so even if we did all use Mac`s i doubt i`d be buying anyone an Ipad to add to that collection.

re: The Apple iPad Thread
The flash memory chips in the 16gig model cost £20 and £80* for the 64gig chip which explains the £170 difference between those two models.
*at today's relatively awful exchange rates

how does £60 sterling equate to a mark up or £170?

Apparently it's not being call iPad in the UK, it's gonna be rebranded iCon.
Its always the same the Brits get sold the same product but they just chane the $ to a £ and leave the number the same.

re: The Apple iPad Thread
I recommend none of you try out an iPad as it only increases the gadget lust
