Because it makes him look like a posing tool.

.Keep him, simple as that. I don't even need to bring in any bias about going to the same high school as him or him being local. I will admit I was unsure about how well he would work when it was announced he would be leading the coverage. I think he has done a brilliant job. Will echo the comments on Leg-end though, thought he might improve but he still grinds my gears.

When was the last time he used it on screen? He does on the F1 forum for twitter comments, but the rest of the time its a 9.7" paper weight
Only person to ditch is Legard for Croft. Legard is a complete moron. States the obvious half the time and occasionally gets completely mixed up (raving about fastest times when it's the first time to be set etc). If he didn't feel the need to shout incessantly he'd have time to compose himself and follow what was actually going on rather than just feeling compelled to fill every second with some inane comment.
I'd rather have Allen back than keep Leggard. Croft would be my first choice though.
As for EJ, he can be annoying but he's controversial, asks tough questions and is a good contrast to DC I think.

Find his BBC blog on it.
He keeps his program script on it, keeps up with twitter throughout when he is presenting (he used it before the race last week), emails, producer comments, and god knows what else.
It's replaced his clip board, welcome to the 21st century.
People have a problem with it because it's an Apple product, if it was the equiv Samsung tablet when it hits retail no body would bat an eyelid!
Sh, you're being too rational.

people perceive apple products as pointless posing tools for those more obsessed with fashion than function.
Such people forget the ipad does have a function and it works. Same argument applies to the ipod, doesnt stop the ipod being a perfectly good mp3 player however ...

I have never come across a tablet with the ability and battery life of the iPad...
Please show me these devices?

People getting their knickers in a twist over a bloody graphics tablet. This is why democracy was never going to be a good idea.
I think Jake is a great presenter, I also think DC does a good job. EJ on the other hand seems to have no grasp of the English language and just spouts complete rubbish.
Martin Brundle is good on the commentary but Jonthan Ledgard seems like he is watching a different race half the time.

I like F1 the way it is.
Jake is a good presenter and DC and EJ sometimes argue and rip into teams and the FIA on various occasions
The only thing that annoys me about the current F1 is that it looks crap on my 47 inch tv on SD.

Keep Jake i think he is good at what he does and tweets a lot! I prefure him having an ipad its the latest gadget and does more than required, other than a clip board + saves trees(im not a tree hugger).
Legard is okay but i agree with most - ditch him he isnt on par of Martin Blundel
Probably going to get shot but think we should see more of Lee Makenzie
