We still do not have a UK price for the iPad. So it may be free for UK users? ;)

But surely, since rocks are more feature complete and also free, they'd have to undercut them. So an iPad should be cheaper than free! Bloody rip-off Apple!


I thought that was why they were giving away a free £20 iTunes voucher with every 'purchase'?

I can just see the headline now: "Apple Undercut Rocks" :) They've gone into the miming business...

Edit: mining

Yes but does the rock deserve a tech premium?

Yes but if you want a glossy screen a rock does not come with it as standard or as an option.

I'd consider a rock, but would I need some sort of case to stop it getting scratched?

The Kindle and the rock have similar refresh rates. I think the rock may give eye strain when looking at video.

What about the exchange policy on scratched rocks?
