First was the iphone, now the ipad. Nothing more than a bigger iphone.
But I think people are looking for something with a bit more portability.
This ipad looks a bit cumbersome to be carrying around in the shirt pocket.

clue: dictionary. Look up definition of "cumbersome".

I'm surprised it took Apple this long to make one. Toshiba, Fujitsu,
and NEC (at the least) have had them for years. Fujitsu and NEC, as of 4
years ago, had a model where the screen rotated so you could use it as a
laptop...or as a tablet.

(Link if anyone cares)

Of course those earlier models didn't have cell wifi...just network
wifi (b/g)...but that's easily solved by a usb device.
