Alice for the iPad

It won't be long before the iPad hits the shops and I, for one, am saving my pennies to get one. This video brilliantly captures the essence of the device. Books become interactive adventures. The internet looks amazing. The app store is already bursting with great content. A new version of iWork is bundled with the device. Imagine a class set of these sitting in the corner of the room? There are already rumours of the next version having a camera on board. Now that really would make it a very desirable learning tool.

What do you think of the iPad? Do you think we should be looking at getting some for school? If not the iPad, then what other mobile computing device would you favour?
