oh, thanks, woofy. It does look rather thin, doesn't it. Comparing OH's mini and jno jnr's non-mini last night, full-size iPad's seem rather big to me, not something I'd feel like lugging around anywhere; but the mini seems quite convenient.
If only I had anything I wanted to do with one of them.
OH also has a netbook/notebook, which we take on hols with us to stay in touch with the world, but that is quite bulky and not very reliable. So the iPad will probably replace that and a Kindle.
