Hehe, they stole my idea. I actually thought of something like this 10 years ago as part of a game interface. The game was to be set in the year 2010 and the player character was to be able to communicate with his HQ and access the Internet via a device called iComm. I suppose I made a lucky guess at where the tech was going and the time frame involved but it's spooky how close I came to reality.
Anyway, I think it's an interesting gadget and that some of you may want to comment about it. I thought I'd share my little story as it seems like a perfect segway into the actual article here:

Ahhhh crap! I didn't see the existing iPad thread before posting this. I apologise for making a new thread. :=
