The Register are reporting that Apple have confirmed a smaller, lighter version of the iPad with a neat little phone app pre-installed. Apparently it'll be small enough to fit into your pocket.

Link.

I think a lot of people are missing the point of it and also assuming everyone should need one. which is not the case. Just like, not everyone needs a laptop or a smart phone. However for people who have a need for it tablet pcs are excellent.

It's 3 main tasks are reading books, watching movies and browsing the web.

It is to big to be used as a phone or camera, to impractical without a keyboard and mouse to do office work.

With it being apple it'll have serious flaws. But tbh it is pretty much what I want.

Epic fail not putting a webcam IMO.

Would seriously consider it as all I do on my netbook is browse, consume media and chat to people but the lack of a webcam basically means I'll no longer consider it.
