Then they had to go and ruin the party. The case for the iPad is rounded like it's an *ahem* oversized iPod Touch, which means it won't sit flat on a desk or table, thus negating its use as a note-taking screen. Yes, I know there were docks shown that will connect to it, but I wouldn't trust the thing sitting on the small 20"w X 20"l desktops we have on campus. I can just see some kid come walking in, still hung over, bumping my desk, knocking the iPad to the floor and shattering its screen. No thanks.
