An ipad is a lovely amusing toy that is fascinating to play with but it has no practical use for me. Make some suggestions that might use one for.

Apology accepted Barry. I don't take kindly to being called a fool at any time, but it's especially difficult to react correctly in response to a written medium like this, as I can't see if you're sitting there giggling when you write it. Sorry to be so sensitive - I've had a pretty tough week. My bad.
All good.
"Make some suggestions that might use one for."? Too many to list Barry. As a business tool offering unobtrusive comms requirements (built-in 3G), through client meeting after client meeting, it's invaluable to me. As a graphical touch-based interface to my synthesised musical pursuits, with hundreds of brilliant MIDI-enabled apps and synthesiser engines, it's invaluable to me. As a self-contained GPS mapping device out there in the bush with a large screen and touch controls (try using a mouse or touchpad and cursor when you're driving), to me it's again invaluable. As a device on which to collect and read a plethora of magazines I subscribe to, it's cheaper (by far) than the printed offering and doesn't take up any room. That's invaluable to me. As a device to flick through emails and posts on various forums whilre I'm relaxing, it's far better than my various laptops at doing that on a couch or in bed. I don't think I need to justify having one - people just get it after having one for a while.
