>What do you think for travelling. I think its a little too big to be easily portable. Not the sort of thing you'd get out on the tube or a crowded train. Also if its heavy and you have to hold it with one hand while using it how does that feel after say an hour ?

I guess we could ask the guy in the tv commercial - you know the one - he's sitting out in the sun trying to read and he's holding it like a book. :o) If he wasn't holding it like a book, I wonder if he would get "toasted skin?" :o)

Seriously though, I'm still a book person. I like books and I prefer black and white when reading but color for everything else. The iPad sounds great to me for what I would use it for - a portable communication device with a screen I could actually see :o) (email, internet browsing, short videos, etc...) but for development I think I would stick to my laptop (with a fan stand) :o) Until of course someone invents a floating keyboard... :o)
