At the risk of being accused of continuing my one man campaign against the iPad, this story is typical of managers who don't really know what they are doing, falling for the iPad hype. Why just iPads if they are running a trial? Why not the plethora of other devices. Then again, if all you know about technology is what Rory Cellan-Jones tells you and what you read in the Sunday papers........

That iPad is looking even more expensive.....

India Express has a story about a tablet PC that the Indian Human Resource Development Ministry hope will eventually sell for just $10! Sketchy details so far but it look interesting. I wonder if BECTA could come up with something like that? Oh no, the just been abolished.

More competition for the iHype

It's been around for a while but I've only just seen this prototype from ASUS. It's a 12 inch tablet with a docking station that turns into a laptop. Oh and it has USB, a card reader and flash. There is also a 10 inch version as well. Don't sell your soul for an iHype just yet....

Fed up with no flash on your iHype
