Lying in bed typing away on it. It is great hey? After my losing it with my screen protector I am wondering if it actually needs one at all......it seems so responsive and smooth without! Maybe they are a gimmick after all? Has anyone else bought one? I had a look on amazon and so far no real reviews although how there can be a difference between thin pieces of film I don't know......
Apps bought today - real racing, pages, sketchbook pro, brushes for iPad and penultimate. Oo and that Wired mag app.

Yeah but it's amazing how 500 quid becomes 200 when you claim the VAT back and offset the rest against your income tax.

That ticks a seriously surprising number of boxes for me. If it wasn't going to fall apart in 5 seconds I would be ordering one.

Was just testing it myself too.
Excellent quality.
But I can't seem to lose the Safari toolbar?

Iplayer audio continues to play when you app switch too.

Ah, found a way to get rid of the address bar, if not the status bar.
Add the site as a homepage shortcut and run it from there...

Doesn't seem to for me. How are you app switching?
/Edit. Okay, it doesn't work if you are running it from a homepage icon, it does if you are in Safari!

TVcatchup have just confirmed to me an iPad version is coming. But won't put a date on it.
