so with all this talk of internet on trains, all this hype of the ipad 3g has me wondering....

Could we see many people on trains using this oversized ipod/iphone?

My gadget of the month is a set of Sony noise-cancelling headphones. They have made a huge difference to my comfort level on the commute from Edgeworthstown to Connolly.

You can ignore screaming children and it eliminates the noise level on the 29Ks to a tolerable level. 22Ks are almost completely silent.

My boss has had one here in Toronto for a while, seems very happy. Still comes off as a consumer rather than enterprise product at the moment. Like the smaller versions a cover would be a good idea to deal with finger marks etc. If my mother-in-law was looking for a laptop now rather than two years ago - do mails, surf, look at digital photos - I'd have bought that rather than the Vista Dell she has now.

Edit: I hear good things about Flipboard

I suspect the HP Slate, if properly done hardware wise, could do some damage in the enterprise space especially if you don't need to separately activate/manage them with iTunes but could plug them right into an Active Directory domain.
