Re: iPad is Coming

And of course that adds to the naming fun...iPod, iPad, iMac, iBook,
iPhone...System i?

My problem with iPad is not in your list :)

My problem with iPad is that you can't write your own software to run

on

it. You can only run what Apple wants you to run. I'm a programmer,
and would love to be able to build my own creature comforts into the
thing -- but Apple won't let me do anything except stuff I get from
their App Store.

Yes you can simply by downloading your iPhone SDK to your Mac which
gives you XCode and a simulator, but you must enroll and pay $99 to get
a license key that will allow you to deploy your programs to actual
hardware.

You can then work in Objective-C, or by buying Monotouch -
http://monotouch.net/ - in C#.

I think you should try - I think you could do some very interesting
stuff with the i on it (why else should they call it iPhone?)
