[OSX-Users] Re: ipad?

[Hugh Glaser]

Yes, I would have liked a Mac tablet.

But I do fancy an iPad - I consider the iPhone a read-only device because of
its size.
I can see what the iPad hasn't got: USB port, microphone, camera to name a
few.
But I guess that those things can be done by bluetooth.
But I don't want to carry a bunch of extra things around.
Being able to use an iPhone as a bluetooth peripheral is an interesting one?
Or a bluetooth headset with a camera in?
Maybe with a little dock to usb to allow charging?
Will be some interesting little peripherals.

And the price is good - wonder what it will be in £.
Hopefully not too different, as won't be locked in the US.
