I dont understand how a tablet pc made the top headlines for 98% of media today, it was leaked 6 months ago and its a tablet pc... its only cool to use as a giant phone :)

Who wants to carry around a giant tampon?


Really, the idea is pretty dumb. It's too big to fit in a pocket, so you'll need some sort of bag to carry it in, and it's too fragile to just throw it in a bag, so you have to put the tablet in a case, the case in a bag, and by that time, you may as well spend your money on a laptop. You know, one of those things with a keyboard that has the ability to multitask.

Why does the media waste time on this ? It is certainly nothing new or original. HP has been selling touchscreen tablet PC's for quite some time.

I have enough trouble with the tiny netbook keyboard.
I don't want a computer without one.

CNN reports some of the jokes made at the expense of the iPad name: :D


Yes, the iPad is small, lightweight and slim. But can you swim with it?

Some took to calling it the "iTampon."

Will women send their husbands to the Apple store to buy iPads?
