Of course, in the good old days ('Back in the day' to use the argot of yoof-speak) 'PDA' meant something far more enjoyable.....
Talking to an IT wise-head the other day, he told me that people turned away from last year's fad, the 'netbook', when the iPad appeared. But it's no use for work and the e-mail applications are poorly thought out. Pretty for web surfing, but that's about all.
