My iPod Touch is ideal for browsing etc precisely because it is so small and I can hold it in one hand easily and type with the other. It fits in my pocket easily. However the iPod Touch has no camera, doesnt multi-task and hasn't got proper Bluetooth. The battery life isn't great. All this applies to the unfortunately named iPad. Apple hasn't learned anything and just thinks we will all go gaga over its smooth sleekness... IMO Apple misled people about the battery life of the MBP. It has a non-swappable battery hardwired in because Apple claims it lasts 7 hours on half brightness with wireless on and Bluetooth off. This is rubbish. Under those conditions mine lasts barely 3 hours. It will be the same with the iPad. Anyone expecting it to last 10 hours will be sorely disappointed. It uses 'old' technology for the screen rather than magnetic ink and is therefore not best suited as an eBook reader. No Flash support, no camera and undoubtably some mickey-mouse non-standard Bluetooth all mean this is one to miss. Get a netbook instead. Cheaper, battery lasts longer, has a camera, multi-tasks and supports Flash... Well Nikki, Steve Jobs has unveiled it and I was underwhelmed
