The iPad

I just enjoyed the Daily Giz Wiz iPad review (ROFL at the new Here come the letters jingle :D) on YouTube

and it DOES confirm that I want such a device!

Just not the apple one 😀

I am persuaded that I have lots of uses for a tablet as a coffee table device; to read newspapers, magazines, etc.. I just LOVE the new Marvel Comics app on the iPad.. I have Linux Journal in PDF and its a pain to read on my laptop, I can read it on the phone but my eyes just need more and bigger.. I also believe that Viona d love the pad to replace her netbook (we can by now safely say the netbooks and apple triggered the Tablet revolution – though I heard the iPad is a bit on the heavy side..)  for all the above and the mandatory email and media watching.

So please, WePad, Dont dissapoint. As a second option to The Best Andoid Tablet I have high expectations of the Archos Home Tablet.. I hope they do it right. Or at least one of them.. At any rate, I wont risk ordering one out of the blue; but I MIGHT drive to Germany this summer to test it somewhere..

The ONLY problem I see and fear wont be solved anytime soon is the content lock Apple has. They have iTunes, a hatefull platform but one with loads of content; they have an Amazon Kindle app, their own reading app, the Marvel app, .. Android simply lacks most of those; again, not that big of a problem to overcome Technically; but its not the technical part thats lacking, its the content agreements. And I fear that Google will have to throw their weight before being able to solve that

And on a related note.. Whow @ the YouTube Transcribe service!!! hot damn! Still a way to go though 🙂 More off than not. Still, I Love It!!! ROFL! Its Hillarious 😀 “Backup your PC or MAN” ROFL!

Edit: Greg just pointed me to the Notion Ink Adam; another great contender in the list; And with the eInk, it actually sounds waay more interesting than the others!

More edit: The WePad apparently changed its name to the weTab. Does sound like Apple are sore losers 😉
