Hmm, so right now $829 = £511.02. So... guesses? I'd like £600 but guess more like £750.

Imagine the fingerprints on the thing, it will be filthy after an hours use.

Sorry for being £9 out and that I forgot the VAT... =\

You forgot Apple UK tax as well.

It will be nowhere near £250-£300, seriously.

That's the currency convertion - 500$ = £309

Yes then you need to add tax and other extras so will be atleast 500/1.6 *1.175 = £367 which will mean £399 atleast!

Eliot · 27 Jan 2010 at 19:26

why buy one when you an get a netbook and i touch for the same price, my netbook has windows 7 and is the same size

robbiemc · 27 Jan 2010 at 19:26

Foldable case and keyboard look quite nice.

Kainz · 27 Jan 2010 at 19:27

OS 4.0 hasn't been mentioned yet. The IPS display will most likely have an ollyphobic coat to reduce fingerprints.

Dude it's nothing like a Kindle competitor, just because it lets you read books on it doesn't make it so.

But the thing is, when Apple launched the iPhone, did everyone instantly think about the ramifications for mobile internet use? This does what Kindle does (barring the free 3G), plus all the normal netbook-esque functionality.

I think that if Apple have done this well (in conjunction with all the publishers and big newspapers) this could finally kick off e-reading properly.

11:27AM "The iPad is the most advanced piece of tech that I've ever worked on at Apple."

Was that a quote from an intern that had started a mere 7 days from recording that video?

Not flipping out at all, just seems daft to think Apple will release the product for the exact exchange rate and get peoples hopes up
