[NTLK] ipad

[reilly001os at aol.com]

Hi Bob,
I get it... But its surely not what I want LOL after seeing the invites I had great images in my head of a stylus weilding artist on stage with Jobs and the revolutionary multitouch AND pressure sensitive apple tablet that did hwr too but we see how that turned out.  I told myself if they didn't come out with a real Newton replacement today I'd have to retire my ipod touch (which I was using for pim/gtd lists/etc although never as effectively as a newt) and 'upgrade' to my MP130 or UMP2000. Needless to say I'm charging 4 AA batteries right now.... Welcome back Newton :-)

I don't get it!

Much less functionality than a Mac.

It's an iPod e-reader or a stripped down MacBook.

No stylus, lousy 3rd-party HRW at best.

Not for people who want to be active creating 
stuff, unless a stripped MacBook Air ± keyboard 
is all one needs/wants. I'd rather have the Air's 
larger screen.

ModBook much more like it -- now that's a new experience.

Looks like I'll be hacking OS X onto a Windows 
tablet and hoping somebody figures out how to get 
Einstein to do something.
