I want one

Rik · Jan 27, 2010, 18:14:38

Fair makes you drool, doesn't it, Steve.

Glenn · Jan 27, 2010, 18:16:14

He's 40 years behind the times, James T Kirk had them in 1969

Rik · Jan 27, 2010, 18:17:14

- beam me up, Glenn.

Glenn · Jan 27, 2010, 18:18:09

Steve · Jan 27, 2010, 18:19:16

Not sure it would much use for me except at home where I don't need it! The lack of 3G locally is going to save me money.

Glenn · Jan 27, 2010, 18:20:15

Not for long though, that mast nearby, will be upgraded soon

Steve · Jan 27, 2010, 18:21:44

Who do I contact?

Rik · Jan 27, 2010, 18:28:50

3?

Steve · Jan 27, 2010, 18:30:56

I wonder whether you can plug in your dongle?

Rik · Jan 27, 2010, 18:32:20

Now that is asking for trouble, Steve.

Please form an orderly queue with your suggestion guys.

3?

Also Vodafone, T-Mobile or O2, they are all trying to increase coverage

And how to load an application that comes on CD?

Rik · Jan 27, 2010, 18:35:48

Presumably wireless networking?

Steve · Jan 27, 2010, 18:36:48

Third party apps Glenn! Mr Jobs surely won't be too happy with that.

Glenn · Jan 27, 2010, 18:40:53

I've just had a thought that may appeal to the book readers. Make the iSlate out of 2 A5 hinged screens, let it display a book page on each screen, to turn a page, close the screens togeher then open them again. What do you think?

Rik · Jan 27, 2010, 18:41:48

How long would the hinges last?

Glenn · Jan 27, 2010, 18:42:38

Longer than the current screen if you drop something on it.

I'm the ideas man, hinges are your problem

Steve · Jan 27, 2010, 18:46:10

I wonder what they're going to charge for this? Tempt you with a 3G contract I suppose. Interesting that they're using their own processor

Glenn · Jan 27, 2010, 18:47:00

I did see a under $1500 price mentioned a little while ago.

more dumbing down of the computer space in my opinion. They do look nice though

I just don't see the point, aside from it being yet another accessory people might like, are they needed? Is there likely to be much demand for these tablet/pad devices?

Rik · Jan 27, 2010, 18:51:53

From the gadget freaks, So, probably yes. I'd like one because it looks nice, but there's no way I'd buy one.
