Exactly. It's like comparing a McDonald dollar menu item to tabs' favorite buffet.


So, beyond buying one with full memory, what makes the iPad a Happy meal?

First barnacle: ‘camera connection kit’ (an SD card reader) $29

Second barnacle: a Kickstand. Expect this to add a qtr-pound of weight, and another bit o' kit floating around in your bag, for $40

You'll need a bag too.

How about a case? $39

there's the optional (wobbly) docking block for $29

Fries.. a Large Orange drink...


btw, there are all kinds of much less expensive tablets that could be compared to the iPad.
