I will post more info on this products, but i’m starting to feel that, once again, the technology is on the right path of the future, this kind of products are truly amazing, and i’ll get one of those iPads when i’ll get the opportunity.

The iPad SDK is also available from apple, even if all the applications in the app store are compatible, why not take advantage of the bigger screen of the iPad.
