iPad! And... Modbook??

We all have been anticipating for a new tablet product that apple was working on, and now they have finally shown us what they were working on, the iPad! A blown up iPhone/iTouch. To put it simple, the iPad is like a blown up iPhone. Does bassically everything an iPhone does but more and on a larger screen (9.7-inch). I don't feel like listing out all of the specs so check out this link http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/. So if your just someone who doesn't do much other than surf the web, read ebooks, listen to music, watch movies and other simple things. Then the iPad is for you.
For the others who really wished that apple was going to release a tablet version of the MacBook, sorry but Apple disappointed you. But!!!! There is a solution. The Modbook by Axiotron! What Axitron did was bassically take a MacBook and mod it into a tablet version. It is not some fake thing or something that some guy sits in his garage and modded himself. It is a fabulous tablet that runs Mac OS. Just mentioning it for the people who don't already know about this product. Click here to check out the Modbook in action. Check out this interview with someone from Axiotron at MacWorld Expo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cKtd2zTNEk. The price is currently $1649 from the Axiotron site, but you can supply your own MacBook to be modded for $699.
In the end...
iPad by Apple = Blown up version of iPhone/iTouch with some new features
Modbook by Axiotron = Tablet version of the MacBook
