more on the ipad (sorry :)
i'm starting to think my building is not all that serious about recycling
iPad promo video (8 minutes) plus my thoughts on the naysayers
naysayers:
- stupid name
- it's just a bigger ipod touch
- i have a laptop/netbook, why would i want this?
- it doesn't have a connector/slot for hdmi/sd/minisd/vga
- it can't run two programs at once
- it has no camera
- it doesn't run flash, everyone knows you need flash to browse the web
- it can't make a phone call
- I can't install software on it (except via appstore)
- jonathan ive is a bit of a knob*
response to naysayers:
- not that bad. doesn't matter. remember nintendo wii?
- exactly
- if you don't know then you can't have one. (it's about the ui. and the ux)
- exactly
- actually this is annoying me also
- i thought a webcam would be good. prediction for future version plus built-in mic.
- yeah that kinda sucks
- it's not a phone
- get over it
- yep
* Okay that was me..

Thanks for registering your interest for the CLEM 7 Tunnel Run, Simon!
This once in a lifetime opportunity is set for early 2010 between 6.30am and 9am on a Sunday prior to the tunnels official opening to traffic. The date will be announced just weeks before the event so make sure you keep your calendar clear.
We will send you a reminder email to sign up to run when the official dates are announced, so use the time to get a group of friends together and start training now!
Everyone taking part in this historic, once-only event will help raise funds to support the Royal Children's Hospital Foundation in working wonders for sick kids so put your thinking caps on how you can help sick kids while taking part in the CLEM 7 Tunnel Run.
