Dilbert on lost iPhone prototype

You may have all heard of the iPhone prototype: lost in a bar by an Apple engineer, found by someone who then sold it to Gizmodo. Of course, Gizmodo made a full report about what they've found. Including pictures and a dissection of the phone itself. Poor iPhone...

The affair made a lot of media attention, which even lead Scott Adams, creator of daily office life comic 'Dilbert', to draw some comics about this...

Dilbert comic 2

He also wrote a blog post about these comics, which you can read on his website.

iPad

Apple iPad

The word's out. The buzz is all about the new Apple iPad, a tablet device. But why would I tell you all about it, when Apple has a great page about this online: http://www.apple.com/ipad

A revolutionary device for browsing the web, reading and sending email, enjoying photos, watching videos, listening to music, playing games, reading e-books and much more.

I won't be saving money to get one for myself. I don't see this being useful - for me. First I'd like that MacBook Pro. Then maybe some other gadgets. I already have a great tablet to draw and other than that I don't see the iPad fit in my life very well. It's too big to be a gadget I just carry around. I'd be too afraid to damage the thin device.

How about you? Are you excited about the iPad? Are you going to buy one? Or, if you can't, save for one? I'm pretty curious. Over at Plurk, my buddies seem to have many different opinions. Some say it's another device they are not going to buy, others say they need it asap! I'm very curious to hear if you are planning on buying one and why, what are you doing to use it for primarily?
