I have a kindle, and it is great at what it does, and it would be cool if it did more. When it comes time to replace the kindle, it will be replaced by a tablet, but more than likely not an apple tablet, there is a slew of androit tablets coming out with much better specs, more features (USB port!!!) and the ability to multitask, all in a package 1/2 the price of the itamponpad


This one which is slightly smaller, is 1/5 the price

I just don't see it being useful for travel if that glare issue is that bad. If you are indoors, the laptop would do just fine.

A mac laptop may be the way to go since you have that much issue with stuff working.

So it costs as much as a laptop, but doesn't have a keyboard and can't run normal software? Wow, i think i'll go out and buy a dozen.

If i were Steve Jobs, every time i took a shit, i'd paint it white, call it iShit, and sell it to some fool for $399. Just because i could.

See I thought it would be a good alternative to a laptop. I even thought about potentially getting one. But not even a USB port? I already have an iphone, I don't need a bigger one. I love my iphone and love my ipod, but I don't need more of the same!

Why would anyone want an internet surfing device that you can't even surf the internet with?

I don't get it.
