Your second attempt looked ok.
Using the MacBook as an example, the exchange rate is about 1.22 Apple Dollars to 1.00 Apple Pounds
So yep, cheaper to buy in the US, but still not 1:1 $:£ or worse.
£409 UK, base price, using that model.

If people view this as a 'take everywhere' product, which it is (it'll easily fit in any standard document holder), then I can see people ditching their expensive smartphones, going for a basic phone on a cheap sim only rolling contract, and using the spare £20pcm on a plan for this. That's how I'm selling it to myself right now...
True, although in my 'future world', the SLR will have WiFi and it'll tether & transfer via that.
Also I don't shoot RAW so for me onboard storage isn't an issue.

Two docks, one at home and one at work, you're sorted... Elimantes the need for an SD card slot for most, hardcore photographers excepted.

= more £££s to get it to do what you want.

Yup. I'd imagine an additional dock will retail at about £59.

Sure, but you've GOT to back up when you're on your travels. When I was in the US, I backed up to my netbook first, and then to a portable HD (as well as the original CD card), and uploaded the important images.
The iTab would be useless for any of that.

Surely there'll be a third party device that turns the dock connector into an SD reader within weeks of launch?

That doesnt usually happen with these sorts of Apple devices.
It would be ok for me. The longest shoot I've done before returning to base was about 2.5gb. So easy enough to keep on both cards and the tablet. OK, so there's no third backup, but two places is enough for me.

At the bottom of the spec page:
iPad Camera Connection Kit
The Camera Connection Kit gives you two ways to import photos and videos from a digital camera. The Camera Connector lets you import your photos and videos to iPad using the camera’s USB cable. Or you can use the SD Card Reader to import photos and videos directly from the camera’s SD card.

I've got pretty much the same reaction to it as I did to the first iPhone - nice, but missing a few things that seem essential.
iPad V3 will doubt be a great product

Quick show of hands - is there anyone here that thinks reading a book on it will actually be a pleasant experience and worth bothering with?
Dunno. I think I'd have to try it. Won't be anywhere near as good as paper obviously.

Yep thinking much the same. I'd like to see more storage, an SD card slot, bigger screen, front facing camera, any news on multitasking?

Can't see it myself, back light screens hurt my eyes, e ink like the Sony ereaders doesn't. Be interesting to see Sony's response to this.
Looks like I'm still on track to get a dedicated ebook reader...

Yes I saw that and posted about it after my previous comments, and I was referring to 3rd party hardware addons.

For me that's the biggest disapointment, if this had replaced the kindle I think I'd have been sold.
