My screens

The pad has two different "desktop screens", the one shown normally when not in any app (the one with all the icons), and the one shown when you turn iPad on, before you have opened it with the slider. (One can choose to have a password for entry to the iPad, it's set in Settings/General.) I think the purpose of the dang slider is to prevent accidental "computing" if the Home/activate button is hit accidentally while it's in a bag. (By the way, unlike an iPod there seems to be no physical slider which prevents it from waking up if the home button is pressed. Does anybody know different?)

So many good choices, but for now, it's Dorianne.

MacRumors: Apple Reportedly Planning to Launch Smaller iPad in Early 2011

Wha? If the gap between the iTouch and iBook was tight, the gap between the iTouch and the current iPad must be even tighter.

You'd think they were planning a bigger iPad not a smaller one.

Maybe they want to provide all sizes to compete with the different sizes of Moleskine notebooks.

Indeed, a bigger one would be what I would guess, and want.

Not heavier, though.

Nice desktop, but of course I could have guessed it; a redhead ;-)

Gawd forbid I ever meet a pretty redhead who really wants something from me, I wouldn't have a chance.

You're in the wrong country, then. Most people in England don't seem to like them. This kind of thing would be like catnip to you:

I know. That should be an official mental dysfunction.

I've never heard of women who dig redhaired guys though. Chicks, yes. Guys no.
