iPad – news, views and opinions from around the web

By in Technology

Summary: of the many reviews I’ve read, one thing seems to emanate from almost all – the iPad allows for a truly wonderful web experience. Similarly, there are no complaints about the aesthetic design or build of the device.

In either case though, on thing is certain, the iPad will have no trouble being sold.

However, with the rivalries and lawsuits aside it could have a more drastic effect on the consumers. If the courts rule in favour of Apple it could well kill a huge range of HTC produced handsets, and send a drastic blow in the face of Google and the Android platform.
