Maybe It Should Be Called The Liepad?

By no means the first time the Apple Marketing Corporation have over-egged it! Anyone else would have been brought to book in no time, but... we are so big and rich (and have so many over-rich air-heads in tow) that we can ignore normal advertising standards.

Anyway, tablets are crashing in price now through sheer oversupply, so Joe Average is going to be spoiled for choice. Just been looking at a Android ICS one with HDMI output, 8GB Flash and 1GB RAM for £85 post free - and it has a microSD slot, and a swappable battery! At 7" it's just about pocketable too; which, to me, seems to be the whole point of a tablet.

Got a samsung galaxy tab at work to play with in a couple of weeks time. I still don't see the point of them in my life. Laptop for mobile purposes or desktop for everything else....when the office isn't too cold that is

A few weeks back I had a shiny new Samsung Galaxy Note! But "teacher" confiscated it for her own use! Funny the people who laugh at the size of the Note - assuming it's very uncool phone - then shorty afterwards are seen sporting one themselves - as a hot Tab!

My current companion out walking is a Motorola Milestone 2 (because I like real keyboards, and it was a bargain at £165) with a cheapo Chinese fat-boy battery compartment clagged on the back. Great for Internet Radio, Skype etc.

Apple drops '4G' from iPad adverts

Next retreat to reality will be the launch of a much smaller tab (or much larger phone)! Could take a while though - which is what the competition is hoping.
