5mins in explains the ipad use.

Yep looks handy. A lot easier than using a laptop.

lol.

Can't criticise him too much, i'll point you towards Apple's current bank balance. [From a business perspective!]

Anyone who is a shareholder from the old days (I mean way back!) is rolling in it atm!!

There really hasn't they have used full os operating systems which is a massive downside for small touch screen.

Not on a proper OS ... Ubuntu has touch support that works just fine thank you very much

iPad is nothing revolutionary, or special ... all it is is a tablet with a high price for the content

I saw a affluent girl in her twenties wearing D&G sunglasses, high heels in the apple store buying one.

In the queue there was a businessman.

There was a woman with her kid buying one.

Plus a fair share of fan boys

And what has that got to do with anything? :confused:

They could all very well sit in the 10% of computer users that own an Mac.

Jake isn't around during the race this was re-race chat. He's got a plain black cover over the side with the Apple logo on.

Jake's use of the Ipad is probably the best application of said tablet technology that I have found yet..

Oh, and I hate Apple, and pretty much all of their devices since I was old enough to know what they were/are

I think we will be seeing more and more live TV people using them.

I have no issues with that. If a tool is the best thing for a job, let people use it

I just had a guy drop one of at work for me to get Citrix working on it. The IPAD had a rubber case with a cover for the screen, much like a book sleeve. That is what Jake probably had on his in Canada.

If ever there was a situation where an iPad is useful it's this case.
