Sounds more like clever and sound marketing, to me

Only because you voted against it......Come on.....ADMIT IT!!

Oy vey!

Mazel Tov, it's a new Global!

They've varied over the years but have generally been small, shorts of varying lengths, never full length specials or anything like that.

Can't remember when they last did one for Comic Relief that was specifically Doctor Who, last time it was a Sarah Jane Adventures short that starred Ronnie Corbett. I think the only Comic Relief special was the Curse Of Fatal Death spoof years ago, so this is the first time in a long time really.

I do know there's 2 parts to this one, and the are called Space and Time

Very much my stance atm I really would love one, but can't really justify one yet. Almost all the stuff I would do on it I do on my Xperia phone perfectly well. The main thing that attracts me with it is watching movies and TV shows on a larger screen, and for reading comics properly, my phone screen being too small to do them justice

Give it a few more editions/years/competitors and I'll probably get one, or an equivalent

Yup, had the same sort of nonsense myself. When i pointed out to the girls at work, who will spend hours discussing the latest developments in Eastenders, Coronation Street, Hollyoaks...insert whichever soap opera is popular atm......but when I even mention something sci-fi based, I get looked at like Im the saddest man on Earth.

When I ask why, they complain that I'm talking about things that aren't real, people who aren't real.........cos obviously Dirty Den and Angie were the definition of realism.

I know that flat.....it was awesome.....and he sold it

Made a great profit on it though, which is good.

That pizza cutter is excellent, btw, but I love that Johnny 5!!

Well, as a DJ, and former worker in a CD retail chain, no, neither am I

She never got the iPhone, I drew the line there, I got her a cheap iPod 3 and she's happy with that. With the exception of the camera on it, the iPod 4 wasn't that much different and she has a camera on her phone already. She's happy with her iPod though.

Myself, I have an Android phone, the awesome Xperia 10, I love it to bits, do so much on it, read books, check e-mails, go online, watch movies on the way to work on the bus, check Sky and set recordings via it for my Sky HD box at home, look at the night sky with it for constellations.....so much, I adore it and can't understand how I managed without it, tbh.

Which is probably the reason I can appreciate how good the iPad is for what it can do. I've had that taste with my phone and now want it on a larger scale and ease of use! You hit the nail on the head there in your previous post, they are damn easy to use. I'm a tech geek and was impressed how fast my technophobe wife got the hang of using it in a shop demonstration! That's what make them so impressive to me.

Still, I can't afford one, it needs more memory and a memory card slot as well, then I'll be saving the pennies for it!!

it's definitely waayyyy more than an overpriced e-erader though

Or arguably, that's a hacked e-reader doing things it wasn't designed to do

Fair point, there is an e-reader that can do *some* of the things the iPad 2 can do, but it's not exactly the same thing, is it? For starters there's no camera, so no face to face comms with it, plus it's only running Android 2.1, so there's a lot fo things not going to work with it.

Not to mention that it needs hacking, something Joe and Jane Public aren't likely to do

Does look like a decent little machine though, would be tempted by it myself if the screen were a little bigger.

The thing is, it wasn't the overpiced part that amused me in your statement, it was the e-reader part, making it sound like that was all the iPad could do, when anyone can see otherwise. I definitely agree it's overpriced, said that right from the day they announced the first one, just like I argued with my daughter when she asked me for an iPod and an iPhone. Great machines but more expensive than they need to be. Plus, stupid proprietary format for mp3's is pointless and annoying.

I'd still love an iPad though
