I didn't even know MS was working on a pad like device...I know HP has the slate which is a finished product and due soon. There are a lot of devices coming out that are pad like devices, some more expensive than others.

No one said the ipad was imaginary, making up stuff never helps your case..and have you seen the ipad? It is a big ipod touch. Aside from size, what is the difference?
