Too late :-P make sure you register the gPad and gthings .. <div><br></div><div>Seriously though, Tony Richards did a good review about them on his podcast and I have had a chance to play with one now. They have their place and I think that there is going to be a big future with these slim, tablet devices. Sure they are not a full blown desktop computer but if my son can get to school and back with a foot scooter, there is probably no need to insist that he can only use his racing bike. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I wonder what will be the first publisher to hit the eBook market? There has been some good stuff shared on the national lists about the kindle and iPad.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards Roland<br><br>

iPads are good as content receivers but schools need content creators plus many of our digital repositories contain Flash which iPads cannot handle.. One of these maybe a better solution.... and they're conceived in Australia.<br>
