It's not the iPads fault your tight.... And you still want one!

Seems Mr TB is confused as to the meaning of the word Gay. Clearly in TB land it's pure quality. ;D

Doubtful, they haven't even managed to get Linux working in a useful way yet - no much chance of a dead OS being ported ;)

More interestingly, though, work is well underway to port Android to the HP tablet .. so you're not stuck with a dead OS on it.

Hp claim only to have dumped the hardware, not the software. Which makes sense not to have to licence embedded os from elsewhere ;)

I have a feeling they may be playing silly beggars  :-X

Yes but I and others don't. But I also don't have a USB port either.

There are options for an iOS device that don't require a USB port, though .. PLX Kiwi and Rev being just two :)

Responds well. Speed is good, even though it truely multitasks. Maybe if I opened enough stuff, it may slow.

Not played HD content, can't see why I would want to, there is a perfectly good 1080p telly in the same room.

Yes, multitouch, including pinch zooming etc.
