Watched some of the live stream from Engadget on the iPad announcement today. It was, as expected, a tablet shaped like a big iPod. It comes with wireless and it can hook up to a 3G network if you buy the big one. Notably, for me, were the things it didn’t do:
No camera (!)
Poor battery [...]
What do you do when you’re stuck in an airplane at 6am and the cabin lights are off and your seat’s reading light doesn’t work? I guess you could listen to music or watch something on an iPod-like device. But what if you really feel like reading?

It is no secret that I am something of a technology slut. I like gadgets and gear, particularly stuff that relates to audio. I have a few iPods and I love listening to music on them. The experience is mediated by the quality of the headphones you plug into them and the quality of the [...]
Electronista is claiming that there’ll be a Canadian iPhone in June with an all-you-can-eat data plan for $7. With RIM about to introduce a BlackBerry 9000 phone, users are going to have a decent set of options to choose from for hardware.
