After all the hype, I can't figger out why someone (even at Duke) would
use an iPad rather than a netbook for their research. Sounds like kewl won
over functionality. If I'm taking notes, I'd rather have a real keyboard.
If I'm doing other stuff, I'd rather have the plethora of applications
running on Win7/XP or MacOX than on the little apps running on iPods and
iPhones with their baby OS. -- I've been using the iPhone 3GS for months
now as a pocket phone etc and am continually frustrated on what it can't
do.
End iRant. End PodHype
