Here are my top 10 resons why iPad is rubbish (this is why i didn’t buy one).

1. It isn’t called the iSlate, which would have been a far better name
2. I can carry an iPhone in my pocket, and use it to make calls without looking like a pretentious idiot
3. In the demo Steve Jobs gave, it didn’t have flash playback
4. Looks like multitasking didn’t make the cut. So no good for women
5. There’s no camera

8. The battery is built-in, so can’t be replaced easily
9. It will force the Kindle to be cheaper, which is bad because that’s a terrible gadget that nobody should buy
10. Did I say the name iPap is terrible?

Feeling abit below budget or want to have a classic serving tray. Some guys at apartmenttheorapy came up with a detailed instructions how to make one, according to them they werre inspired by;
