I loved the line at the end "lets see if it catches on in the real world, where people do real work instead of just !!!!ing around":rotfl:

Jobs was really excited about being able to change the background screen image. Bleeding edge technology, or what?

he also spent more time on the calander than other more important things. Maybe a hint of things to come? (something similar to the O2 joggler)

Thinking about it, I'm going a bit cold on the idea of spending £800-£900 on something if I have to replace it when I need more storage.

Just get an SD card or an external USB hard drive if you need more storage.

Oh wait...... there's no SD or USB support:rotfl:




Love this fail moment from the keynote address, while they were trying to demonstrate how the iPad, like the iPhone, can access the 'full web':


Yeah, who needs flash? :T

There's an interesting opinion piece from Stephen Fry, who was at the launch and has actually used one.

From what I've read, the general feeling is that you have to use this device yourself in order to appreciate it.

His entire praise consists of it is very responsive (nobody has doubted that) and is made by Apple. Not exactly a glowing recommendation - and he is an Apple fanboy!

I think i'll be sticking with my jailbroken iPod Touch instead of an iPad with a locked down OS. I'd rather have a laptop which allows me to run whatever I want on it.

Is he still living off that same one joke? How tragic.
