But what I am trying to get across is ... would YOU buy this? How many newspaper purchases and shuffling of to the computer desk to look up info would you rather endure rather than getting a larger screen cell phone? Because that's what this is short of making phone calls. Doesn't your iPhone or HTC do the same things the iPad does?
I must be missing something but I think this is purely a novelty device.
