So, the cat is out of the bag. The iPad is basically an iPhone for the partially sighted. All apps bought through the appstore, no real keyboard, no unfiltered 3rd party apps, no proper controls for games. What a wasted opportunity.

Looks like I’ll be after a proper netbook after all.

Lots of speculation about this, but lets face it they’re not making a 10 inch tablet. It’s just not practical. At 10 inches it’s not pocketable so it’ll need a cover, and why not put a keyboard on that cover?

My prediction is a 10 inch netbook, possibly with touchscreen. Built in 3g networking too probably. It might even run some sort of handicapped OSX. Lets see how wrong I can be.

In the UK we’ve had a pretty cold few weeks. During this time the screenwash on my car has decided to stop working, which means my screen slowly gains a salty haze. Nice.

I was looking into fixing it and found this useful tip. I also found another not so useful tip from some nutjob – see the video.
