Re: iPad and Woodworking?

I have an IPhone, I'm a FWW web member and I have to admit that I've been a little bit annoyed not being able to watch FWW videos on my IPhone (Woodwhisperer does ;) ). This morning, it is very refreshing to see that you are looking into it.

The Ipad is a great idea, although I won't get one right away. In my view there is a few missing features that will surely be added in a second release. Like the Iphone, there is a lack of multitasking. As an example, I can't listen to a web radio on an app like Flycast while browsing the web or reading email. I also want a GPS and a camera. In short, I would like it to be a "big Iphone" without the voice service. With the keyboard docking station, it would do 80% of laptops applications. For the quality of the screen, when you have tried several technologies from different manufacturers, you come to truly believe that anything related to user interface, screen included, Apple beats anybody around. The other outstanding feature Jobs is introducing, and I'm glad he's got the leverage to do it, is the cell connection G3 that he has pulled from phone companies. Can't beat a 3G data connection for 15$/month with no contract. This is a huge change in the cell phone data industry and I hope it will start a revolution.
