The iPad's been around for a while now, and although reviews have generally been positive, their are a few Flash and USB-shaped tweaks that many consumers are clamouring for.
Luckily, every electronics
company worth their salt has decided to ignore Steve Jobs’ recent
disparaging comments and are currently rushing out hundreds of slate
computing options in the hope of slicing off a piece of the
sure-to-be-massive tablet computing pie.
With so many quirkily named
