Re: [Staffslug] Fwd: Asus eee tablet (may be renamed to eeeNote) October 2010 (UK ?)
Peter,
I don't mind so much whether the book is physical or digital at this
point... But I do want ownership of my copy. I don't like the way that
Amazon was able to just delete titles from its users' devices. If I
purchase something, I keep it - is my attitude.

Woof! ung grrr :-)
OK my two penneth, I actually think these 'pads' are pretty cool they are the
obvious evolution of netbook, tablet (N810) and eReader.
I bought my wife a HP110 netbook for Christmas but tbh I wish I had of got her an ipad
she is the epitome of the 'cloud computer' all she does is Gmail, Facebook and
some web based games so a pad would be ideal for her.
Given that I'm seeing these eBook readers trying desperately to turn into web
tablets, Kindle-->wifi-->browser/voice, I think I'd rather have an ipad, at
least I can do a bit more with it. I am slightly surprised that the younger generation are
not falling over themselves for these things for me its a hard leap from holding a book to
reading off a screen I've only recently stuck all my music on my ipod and stored all
my 78's in the loft (Thought I'd get in the 78 joke before someone else did) but
I'd imagine younger peeps don't care about owning physical books?
Anyway if I had the cash I'd get an ipad tomorrow.
