Ipad

After seeing peoples Facebook status's filled with comments on the ipad and hearing many people talking about it i thought i would see what all the fuss was about and checkout apples website. Not surprisingly it was the first thing i saw when i entered the website and decided to watch the video on it. On first glance i assumed it was some sort of graphics tablet but after watching the video i realised my assumption was completely wrong and that it was actually just a larger version of the ipod touch.
As cool as it looks and as fancy as it is i don't quite understand the point in it as everything you can do on it can be achieved on an ipod touch except on a bigger scale, i would understand if it was like a touch computer as then it would have a purpose of being more portable than a laptop but instead they've just made a less portable itouch. To be honest i think i'd rather stick with my itouch than forking out for a giant's sized version.
While watching 8 out of 10 cats last night the ipad unsurprisingly was a topic of conversation or shall we say the perfect opportunity for the comedians to come up with some wise cracks,
"There saying its brilliant because you can read a book on it, £500 to read a book on it, what happened to those other things we had, books, remember them?"as said by Jason Manford
"Its like someone inventing a wheel and a year later saying look i've invented a bigger wheel" as said by Jimmy Carr.
Completely agree.
