I don’t see any difference besides size?

I have an ordinary gateway 400VTX laptop and I want to be able to write on my screen like a tablet pc. I found out that I could buy a digital pen mouse for it and it will make my computer into a touch screen. Is there a store online or a retail store I can go to that I can get a digital pen that will allow me to write and draw directly on my screen and not on a paper that I would have to attack to it?

I’ve been browsing through Apple’s website this morning and have seen the new iPad. From first sight, it looks exactly like a larger than life version of the iPod touch, and when reading reviews and specs, I have realised that this is what the iPad actually is. However, I can see some serious practical issues with said device, being that it is far too large to fit in the pocket or even a small bag, making walking along the street listening to music impractical and a mugging hazard. It does not do anything more than the average iPod touch or laptop, and for the much-hyped ‘internet surfing’, the user has to be in a location with wifi connection. There is no USB port, ruling it out as a laptop replacement, and to type a long essay, the iPad would have to be laid flat on a table, making the user strain to see the screen, unlike the traditional laptop.

Overall? I would say the iPad is an unnecessary, overhyped gadget with no real use. However, I would be interested in hearing other peoples’ opinions, so leave them below and tell me what you think!

i look at the iPad and the first thing that strikes my mind is an Extra Large iPod Touch. What are the features which the iPad has and the iPod doesnt have ? is the iPad really worth getting for an iPod Touch owner like me?

Dam, just when you think Apple could never top themselves, they come out with the iPad!
Pretty, much, it is a bigger and better version of the iPod Touch… Like 3 times bigger
