Quick fire comments from around our office.  A mixed bag to say the least!:

Stephen Waddington (@wadds): Undoubtedly a delightful product. But what’s the market?

Steve Earl (@mynameisearl): I hate the way that the warm-up hype from Apple made me feel it assumed the media would stop everything and write about nothing but iPad on launch day. But I admire the arrogance.

Nicola Savage (@nicky_savage): Haven’t bothered – will look when the real version comes out in a few months time.

Nick Bishop (@nbishop): Looks like a small coffee table, without legs of course. Only if you squint.

Ruth Jones (@ruthjones): It looks cool, but seems rather pointless. What would you use it for?

Rebecca Gregory (@rebecca_g): Surely, just the natural next step for Apple and the iPhone… It’s not exactly unexpected. Is it?!

Nicole Hudspith (@nicolehudspith): What’s the point? Waste of space!

Neil Carter (@coq_au_ginge): As always, Apple create things that put huge smile on your face. But from a “work” view, it’s not a replacement for peoples laptops. To sum up, it’s a thing of beauty, I want one, but I won’t be getting one… yet.

Sophie Hodgson (@Sophie_Hodgson): So basically I now need an iPhone, an iPad and a Mac Book to ensure all my browsing and communication needs are covered? How’s about bollocks.

Matthew Watson (@mpwatson): iFad. But I still want one.

Katie Swan (@klswan): I know I want one but I don’t know what i’d use it for. The iPhone is more portable and a laptop has multi-tasking.

John Brown (@brownbare): I think this will greatly enhance my sex appeal as I sip a mochachino in a Soho Starbucks – on my shopping list.

Richard Morgan (@richardspeed): It’s a big iPod Touch, I want one!
