Very creative toy, and a decent backup for me if needed. MGD – yes, I recently bought my tech savvy son an Ipad for his 10th birthday and it is fascination to see how he uses it.

Most new Apple products are reviewed by Apple before release to make sure they still hit the mark they were conception-ally designed to hit. I wonder what went wrong here. Lack of a camera is a big miss, virtually all mobile devices today have a camera, Steve Jobs also added it is compatible with most apps, what apps wont work is what I would want to know before parting with the cash. Some in the UK see it as way into the e-book, The UK VAT rate on books delivered to the UK is 0%, but under EU VAT legislation certain Books items (such as audio books and e-Books) are not eligible for 0% VAT and in those cases the standard VAT rate of 17.5% will apply. This could also mean a big miss for Apple. Completely agree.

I don't think either Ryan or I want to be too harsh, but Apple is so very capable a player, and, like you, seeing that video was left out of the first edition is a bit of a let down. Maybe I watch too much sci-fi, but I was hoping for a much more capable device. Imagine if there was a camera on the front and on the back. Then you could do VTC but could also do amazing augmented reality sessions with something big enough to give you a window full of data in your AR views. Anyway, just because this version is a let down to many doesn't mean there is not hope for the next one. Ian,
