blimey you can spend Â500 on an Ipad, and then pay extra to make it
as useful as Win3.1?
I must have one - when I get a degenerative brain disease!

Â429 for a 16GB wifi one (3G is Â100 extra, god knows why when you
can buy a 3G dongle for 20 quid!).

You can buy a 3G dongle for Â20, but you won't be able to use it with
an iPad.

Yep, good of Apple charging an extra wad of cash for something which probably costs them a couple of dollars extra to put in.

One of the things they did mention is that you can buy 'Office' type apps (Apple iWork) for the iPad at only Â5.99 a month per application. I didn't say that for the same money I can buy a laptop and run Open Office for free :-)
