    I have heard that the Ipad 2 will feel and smell like a turd...............
    It will doubtless be a shiny one though...
  • I personally am waiting for the Blackberry Playbook - looks to be a far better spec!

    How so? Much smaller screen with lower resolution, same speed, no 3G modem option if you don't have a BlackBerry already, no 300,000+ apps, no compatible media store. What is does have is Flash and two cameras. Or "will have" as, like the iPad 2, it's not on sale yet. The iPad 2 will have two cameras in all probability and a faster chip. So it comes down to whether you want a 7" screen, and to view adult sites as almost all the mainstream ones (iPlayer, newspapers, YouTube) don't need Flash, and to have to use some tethering arrangement to your BlackBerry. Personally, other than some people forced into using this by their employer, I have no idea who would buy one. If you're an Apple refusenik wait for Android.

    and to view adult sites

    OMG really only adult sites use flash? you only need flash if you want to watch !!!!!!? seriously? you have been well and truely suckerd by steve jobs and his self righteous censorship smugness.

    and just FYI you will find some 'adult sites' now use HTML5 and H.264 for viewing specifically on the iOS devices :pplayboy on ipad anyone?

    but the rest about the BB playbook then I agree.
  • They are going to allow the use of Android apps on it though, and it multitasks out of sight.

    Those smuggies will be the first in the queue for the new one.

    Too right. We know how awesome the first one was.

    You can continue to look on in awe from behind your PC World laptop ;)
