Why? its a toy..... its an Apple iTouch on steroids. I had one for a
while testing it (I'm working for the mobile phone network 3 at
present, and they are interested in the 3G version for obvious
reasons) and I pretty much hated it - dont get me wrong, its
beautiful, it makes you go "ohhhhh" when you first use it, but a
replacement for a good laptop it aint - its a nice toy, and an
overpriced one at that - the eee pad (the iPad looking version of the
cheap netbook eeepc that came out a few years ago) should be a better
buy. And will probably run QPC too.... .now, a handheld touchscreen
QL, wouldnt that be nice?
Hi all - been lurking for a long time but this mention of Ithingies
caught my eye.
Iphone I like but a bit pricey considering I use my mobile phone as a
phone pretty much 95% of the time, this of course would change with the
options on an Iphone.
But an Ipad - no, what do you do with a hi tech dinner plate when not
using it, too big to go in your pocket, even the most confirmed
medallion man would think twice.
Up North here perhaps we could fit one onto a flat cap, Norman could of
course disguise one as a sporran, although there was that hooha about
radiation with phones, might need lead undergarments.
On topic I use a usb floppy with QPC but can't recall any format
problems (Vista) but doubt that I would be formatting anything other than HD
All the best - Bill
