  • iPad - Pocket sized, pilot-like, palmtop, pen based, personal information management.
  • pPad (powerPad or ProPad) - A Newton sized hand held. Aimed at mobile text/word processing with few or no colours, the longest battery life, instant on, large effective storage capacity, and no data loss restarts. Mobile graphics and video users would choose laptops. Clips into a hard carry case that had a built in keyboard (i.e. an eMate/MP2x00 combination).
  • ePad - An A4 sized pen based tablet. For reading, surfing, and writing/annotation.
  • eBook - A pPad optimised for education (e.g. it is not a clip off, and is hardier).

Wonder at what the future holds...
