the micro sims are £0.02 with the iPad, is there an advantage to cutting down a larger sim, a better deal on older sims or something

I've heard a few people say they 'need' an iPad for work/business/school etc.. Can someone tell me how the human race got to this point without Apple inc.?

Not in my version of reality.

I'm not questioning their awesomeness, even though I think it's hype; I'm questioning why someone suddenly 'needs' something, that previously didn't exist, in order to do something they were already doing.

....and other assorted works of fiction. There must have been easier ways to explain away a leg over out of wedlock. And all they had were fruit stones to tally with.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing. I still reckon that 90% of tasks were quicker before the paperless office came along to 'speed things up'. You spend so much time fighting with the I.T. trying to make it do what you want it to do that a job that would have taken an hour for a smart guy and a calculator now takes a day.

It's like that bullshit about being able to carry 20'000 books with you. Why? I read one at a time! Take 500'000 songs with you? Why??? Are you away from home for 15 years?

Just because technology exists that makes it possible doesn't make it essential.

Andy, we're old farts who used to manage to do things without 'an app to do that'. Dont get me wrong, I think the iPad is a nice toy, but its no more 'useful' than stuff that already exists.

unless they use Apple

I have no loyalty, if some company comes out with better machine and software then I'm off to it...at the moment its Apple... for me anyhow... thou I keep hearing good things about windows 7

Yea, you pay an 'iPad' tax for the micro sim packages, where as you can buy a 3G (full speed) sim preloaded with 10gb allowance over 30 days (starts once activated) for £4.50
