One of my colleagues just showed me his new Ipad. I must admit it has a very high coolness rating. I wanted to touch it so bad. Then I went back to my office, sat in front of my laptop, and basically did exactly what you do with an Ipod - surf the internet, read email, listen to podcasts. Point is it's a very likeable device, but @R10k +, it's a device that does exactly what your laptop does, except it's smaller, with a battery that lasts 7/8 hours, doesn't start-up like a laptop and has a wow factor when using it. It the perfect device for a consumer driven world, but I guess if you're not a techno geek you're no better off with it.
