'Down the pan' because governments don't adopt it? 1 million sold in the first 3 days... hmmm.

Rumour has it there's a hardware keyboard version in the wings to address the corporate market, but who knows... I can't see it myself. (The virtual keyboard is fantastic... the people who diss it seem largely to be people who "just know" they won't like it. Its predictive text input is just superb: aim vaguely at the keys and it works out what you probably meant. For example type "wrstetm" and it guesses "western".)

I can't belieeeeeve I'm defending Apple like this after my vehement anti-applism of a few years ago :-)
