My son was showing us his iPad when he was home last weekend.  You can't exactly carry it around in your pocket!  Nevertheless, he is very pleased with his new toy even though it just seems to be a giant Blackberry as far as I can see.

I'm very tempted to get one, if it had native handwriting and stylus support I'd have gotten one. I might still as its much cheaper over here than the UK.

My handwriting is appalling these days, so I don't think it would understand a word I wrote!  ;D

My Palm doesn't, it thinks I have a stutter. ;)

My son only paid £300 for his in Thailand.
