Does it have a built in camera? if not how is one expected to load Photographs onto it except from a phone camera by blue tooth. And only an Iphone at that as I believe inter connectivity (devices other than apple) is an issue.
It's a couple of years since I bought my camera so maybe cameras now come equipped with bluetooth.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

You can buy an expensive add-on to plug in a USB device, but it sort of needs to be recognised to be of any use. Those expensive Apple ones will, of course, much like their $30 plastic "bumper" fixes the iPhone 4 problem.

Bluetooth for pictures? Not really practical if they're high res and it's not Bluetooth 3.0.

No, the iPad's not for you.

That ASUS I linked to earlier in the thread might be more up your street, but no indication of price yet.

I have no need for a device like that. if it's too big to comfortably carry in your pocket then it has to go in a bag.
I already have a device like that


It does everything and it's got a nice big screen to boot. it's not as big as it seems and weighs fuck all and Its pretty much got every kind of port you can imagine.
For on the move stuff I also have a nifty little device that does everything.
