The distinguishing factor for me over the iPod Touch (or iPhone) is a decent size screen. That alone makes it worth while for me. Nope, I've not done the comparison, but the internet browsing ability is what I'm more interested in this over the standard eBook reader. Also, for me it is not a laptop replacement at all. I will mostly use to move around the house and browse the internet. Yes, I can do that with my laptop, but it will not be as convenient as with this device. Of course I don't "need" one, but it would be nice to have one :) -----Original Message----- From: delphi-boun...@delphi.org.nz [mailto:delphi-boun...@delphi.org.nz] On Behalf Of Phil Scadden Sent: Thursday, January 28, 2010 12:02 PM To: NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi List Subject: Re: [DUG] Apple iPad - OT > Is this the coolest thing ever?
