The BEST description I found about the iPad (and it was made way before it
was launched)

OTOH, I will keep using my MP2100 until Apple (or someone else) comes with a
device as comfortable to carry arround, as easy to use and as powerfull as
the Newton.
The only one i've seen that comes close to it is the Entouradge eDGe (

If debugging is the process of removing bugs, then programming must be the
process of putting them in.
