i guess that's a good usage, positioning the itab as like a mini home computer, at half (or third) the price of a laptop. it'll be slick and intuitive enough.

prior to this, would you have considered getting them an inappropriately named itouch?

Are Laptops really that expensive over there?
They used to be here, but they dropped in price big time a few years ago, to the point that most mobile phone companies will now give them away free if you sign up for their mobile internet.
