"I think this is the end of the laptop...It's portable."
— Rupert Murdoch on the iPad

Funny, and here I thought the laptop that I've been lugging around for over a decade was portable.

Thanks for setting me straight, Rupy!

Ah, Rupe - if it gets as good of Internet signal and you can multitask on it like you would a laptop...maybe. But a lot of us are still enamored of our keyboards.

As an information appliance, the iPad is a wonderfully useful tool. But it is not a general purpose computer.

Definitely not. Far too many restrictions on customization, software choice, and the rest for it to be general-purpose.
