>> The cheapest one will probably come out over here at $999 If that is the case and if one only wants Wi-Fi then I hope one can purchase directly from overseas. I've been thinking for a while about purchasing an eBook reader, but this makes so much more sense with the browsing and email capabilities built-in (and the color screen of course). I wonder whether the lack of multi-tasking is such a biggie? I don't miss that on the iPhone and I will be using it as a larger version of an iPod Touch really. If I need multi-tasking I use my laptop. -----Original Message----- From: delphi-boun...@delphi.org.nz [mailto:delphi-boun...@delphi.org.nz] On Behalf Of Jeremy North Sent: Thursday, January 28, 2010 11:30 AM To: NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi List Subject: Re: [DUG] Apple iPad - OT My reply to this on another forum. ======== meh... "best ever browsing experience" (as long as the website doesn't need flash). Don't see the need for such a device. - 10 hour battery life isn't long enough considering the storage is solid state. - No multi-tasking. Custom processor is an interesting development though. It is an over sized iPhone (which is an ok phone - I have one), proven by the fact that it will scale up existing iphone apps to full screen if you want. The cheapest one will probably come out over here at $999 - given apples history of screwing us (which isn't unique to them). ======== On Thu, Jan 28, 2010 at 9:26 AM, Xander (GMail) <xander...@gmail.com> wrote: > I can't believe there has been no chat about Apple's latest announcement > this morning. > > Watch this video and tell me with a straight face that you don't want one > yesterday: > > http://www.apple.com/ipad/ipad-video/#large > > Is this the coolest thing ever?
