It liikes like an interesting concept. http://www.novatech.co.uk/pc/range/novatechpockitnpi01.html

I do expect the next "big thing" to be a little thing. A PC that plugs into a TV/monitor. As long as it retains some modularity, I'll be happy.

Like it!

Whoaaaa! I'm just trying to get my head around my new iPad.

It's a version 1 donated to me by my four year old grandson who thinks he might get his dad's version 3 if he manages to behave himself for half a dozen consecutive minutes. That will prove to be Mission Impossible.

My son thinks I will love it but ...

We can't wait for you to try posting from it.

Clive · Feb 13, 2013, 23:15:16

You might have to wait a very long time. I've spent an hour trying to bond with it tonight but I've got nowhere. I don't think it likes me.

Practise makes perfect.

Considering it has only 256mb of memory and the latest have 1GB I can recommend it as a great tea tray

256 is practically infinite... you never need more than 126k...

I have an iPad 1, and it's perfectly usable. Just because newer versions are available, it doesn't mean that older models become instantly disposable. It is, after all, only about three years old.

Steve · Feb 14, 2013, 12:27:29

Compared to the newer ones it's obviously slower but (my wife would agree also) it's perfectly usable and I think much quicker than a laptop if you just wish to check emails etc.

It's a colossal learning curve for me. But I'll persevere with it. I can access e-mails but I'm not doing so good with anything else. I think I need an Apple account to download apps too.

Simon · Feb 14, 2013, 13:40:58

You do.

Glenn · Feb 14, 2013, 13:44:28

Buy one of these PC's and put Win 8 on it, you can have another big learning curve to entertain yourself.

HaHa, how much time do you think I have left Glenn?
