Apple unveils iPad


Lord give me strength. Looks like we are reverting to slates! Who on earth is going to carry that around with them for a quick read on the tube? It's not exactly something you can slip into your back pocket or handbag. Now if it folded into 4, you may have something. Otherwise it looks like i-madness to me. It's people trying to show how clever they are. Somehow they seem to have forgotten common sense and what people will actually cart around with them.

A gigantic thumbs down from me. Admittedly it is a thing of amazing beauty, but to what end? To find out more about this 21st century slate, visit the bookseller.

It reminds me of a toy my nephews were given when they were small. It was about the same aize. There were all sorts of things you could, supposedly, do with it. They abandoned it in favour of (a) their favourite pocket size games and (b) books. I can only hope other people react in the same way.
