[dundee] Apple releases camera for iPad

[Paul J Dalton]

What I can't understand is the amount of press coverage!!  The concept of tablet computer is nothing new.  I'd much rather have an existing laptop-flip-the-screen-around-and-its-a-tablet as its just much more versatile.

Apple have taken an original concept and are prime spotlight in the news.

Crazy!
