Ipad? No Thanks

So the Apple Ipad has finally been launched in the US and soon to be in the UK. I hate to be so negative (obviously) but the verdict is mixed. Okay, IT IS a cool gadget for the well off to splash their cash on... but let's face it if you already own a MacBook and an Ipod after a few plays it will surely be left in a draw somewhere. Or possibly banged on Ebay for a fraction of the obscene amount of money originally payed for it. The Ipad's inability to multitask was the main negative point for me, making it less like a Notebook and more like an over sized Ipod.

Not to be too negative.. I wouldn't mind a play on one and I'm sure they provide a good few hours of entertainment with the Internet, videos, games and music. We'll have to wait and see what the consensus is by Christmas 2010, maybe with some clever advertising even I will be won over. I won't hold my breath.
