Only in passing though:

(on page 2).
Although that 'article' is really no more than a way of defending why he likes Apple's products so much and why the haters are wrong.
I like Fry, but he sure does waffle on a lot, plus he seems to use as many long words as he can find in his dictionary (which he has presumably swallowed).

Just bought the complete Sherlock holes collection on kindle for 1.16 dollars:) chuffed. There's loads of silly bargains on classics and this pm we are going to watch Sherlock holmes the new movie. Cultural or wat?

Glyder 2 HD is a really nice chilled-out fly-around-collecting-things game that looks and plays lovely on the iPad, and at the moment it's only 60p.

Worth a look if you fancy a bit of gentle Pilot Wingsy whimsy.

Re: iPad
Quite a nice game
Can anyone recommend a suitable stylus? Would like to be able to use penultimate (nice notebook) for scribbling notes/diagrams down

Re: iPad
See I really wasnt bothered about getting a micro-sim as MyWi on my iPhone works fine but now I have just thought rather than worry about my iPhone battery dying all the time I might as well go for the O2 ten quid a month deal - I'll try the first month and see how much use I get and I can always can it after that.
Now with a new Mac Mini Pro so dont judge me !

Re: iPad
regarding a stylus:
I bought this to use with the wonderful sketchbook pro and Brushes HD. It seems you can buy em in the US apple store too, so they are happy to endorse.
Have to say, its nice for drawing and writing notes, but not as responsive as your finger, just more accurate....

Re: iPad
If you get an iPad at an Apple Store, do they do the iTunes activation for you?
It seems really daft that the iPad is, basically, all the computing power some casual users would need (basic office, web, e-mail).. but you can't use it as that, because you have to plug it into iTunes before it will do anything.
Plus the horribly unfriendly "waiting for activation" message on 3G.. and whoever wrote the keyboard support in Numbers needs a slap.
