Apple want me to spend around £400 to buy a giant 16GB iPod Touch. Hmmm… Yes, the iPad is nice a shiny, just like all Apple’s stuff, but what is it for exactly? When and where would I use it?

Q: Would I take it out and about with me instead of a netbook/laptop?

A: No.

Q: Would I buy it to read books?

A: No. At £400 that’s still an expensive eBook reader with a backlit screen.
Q: Is it a game changer?

A: No. The iPod was, the iPhone was, this is just a nice piece of kit.


Q: Do I want one?


A: Of course.
