Erm, there's been Windows tablets for years (www.topnews.in).

872681 2010-04-05 23:43:00 The introduction of iPad has now cast a shadow over Kindle's future, I must say. The former can do what Kindle does, plus in a better way.Methinks you've never actually seen a Kindle... the point of a kindle is the e-ink screen (rather than LCD), and the insanely good battery life (measured in weeks unless you leave the wifi / network on).

The iPad competes in neither of those areas.

Indeed, Though I meant in response to the ipad.

Lightweight,moderate hardware, lite applications, stripped down OS, far far far better capabilities.

I for one insist on being able to navigate my files rather then having to access them through an app.

872684 2010-04-06 00:20:00 I could see me getting one - for my wife, who is so technophobic, it's not funny.

She just needs email and surfing and a few games - that keeps her quiet for hours on the old laptop she has! And then I have to deal with the squawks when a prompt appears requesting some update action to some application or other (Flash or Java etc)...

It's nice to be needed, but not when there's an unspoken accusation that somehow the laptop is poking fun at her lack of knowledge and it's somehow MY fault!! :lol:

872686 2010-04-06 00:41:00 More reason to save my money, I find my Nokia 6230 more user friendly than my E75.

I guess I will just spend my money on intrepid travels and see more about life.

Kindles are a complete **** tbh lol, the screen flashes everytime you change the page on the screen. Gives you a headache

872689 2010-04-06 00:46:00 My Nokia E63 is quite friendly while being a bit inscrutable about certain matters; however, it does at all times retain it's refreshingly Apple-free charm. R2x1 (4628)
