    ick... That's absolutely nothing like what I imagine an iPad would be.



    iPad would be 1" (or less) thick touch sensitive 12" LCD with integrated Airport and a slot to hold the stylus. Running Mac OS X with InkWell.

    There is nothing worse than someone who writes in the subject:



    Apple iPad prototype on eBay!



    and then when you open the thread they then say:

    Actually, I meant to delete this or go back and edit the title. That was not my intention. I HATE it when people do that and I hate it when in some forum software people don't change the title to summarize the content within.



    If you know of a way to change that, let me know. Or delete this thread. I don't know how.

    I don't think a "PC Tablet" on eBay should be listed under "Future Hardware". But thats just me.
