For what it's worth. Richard Bacon about to review it on BBC Radio 5 live...
I think he's an iPhone lover.

Re: iPad
Nah, I'm quite happy with just browsing, email, and a few other apps. The closed platform doesn't bother me. Hell, I've got a Windows smartphone atm and I think I've got all of two third-party applications on there. I always tell myself I've gotta have something open and flexible, but I never end up exploiting it.
And I'm in America. It's not 500-700 of your pound thingies, it's $500 and do I want to make the trek to the retail store to get it quicker...
That's hardly more than I paid for this here netbook thingie, which despite having four different operating systems over the last year is still used for a handful of apps that the iPad will do just fine.

Re: iPad
I think Bacon was playing devil's advocate somewhat but it's true, no one NEEDS one, which was his main criticism. And he hadn't actually used one until that point.melbourne wrote:Ouch a bit of a downer on radio 5 and the IGN review seems a bit sour.
I can remember the iphone getting some similar flack and look how that turned out.
Hilton loved it and Onion guy was always going to be against. The software issues will be solved over time as with the iPhone.
Hasn't dimmed my excitement for tomorrow....

Neat idea if not a little pointless.
UK launch details need to be announced already.
