Hello senior Fluck,
I will certainly be buying one when they come out. For me, the days of the page turning paper novel are running out. With publication costs coming down and authors royalties going up as a result of the reduced, and currently excessive overheads, this can surely only be an improvement for the literary world…….

Hey Phil, it’s much bigger than an iPod Touch mate. It’s notebook size and that’s the killer.

I’ve been really close to buying a notebook for travelling (excellent battery life & far more usable than a smart phone) but this is now the kit I’ll wait for. It wont replace laptops or smart phones but it’s gonna hurt like hell for notebook and kindle sales.

iPad is flawed (no camera etc) but real problem is Apple’s *closed* environment. Ultimately, Google’s Android is set to have the bigger future.

Hi Nick, I thought you may make a post about the iPad, although it kinda sounds like something my partner would use once amonth.

First I heard about it was this morning when I saw a pic on a business magazine that looked like an umpah loompah was holding an iPhone.

Is it much more than a bigger iPod Touch?
