    Sounds like a digital version of something ladies use every month.

    Marketing FAIL. Do not want.

  • Basically an iPhone/iPod that won't fit in your pocket. I have a laptop that doesn't fit in my pocket that has a decent operating system that isn't made by Apple and it does everything I want so I think I shall give the digital tampax a miss.

    Ive been using tablets for years now so the whole concept is just a bit meh personally.

    Maybe the second or third gen one if the price isn't too silly.

    By the looks the price is gonna be around the $/£899 mark.
    I've not seen any official announcement of the price yet.
    But all estimates have been between 699 and 1299!!

    Christ. All this hype for that. Looks like a £15 digital photo frame.

    Edit - first picture makes Steve Jobs look like a midget holding an iphone
