The iPad . . . ideal for keeping your lap warm. Photograph: Kimberly White/Reuters
A star appears over San Francisco and a new gizmo is born. The iPad! At first glance it resembles an iPhone in unhandy, non-pocket-sized form. But look a little longer, and . . Nope. You were right first time.
Not that that’s necessarily a bad thing. Apple excels at taking existing concepts – computers, MP3 players, conceit – and carefully streamlining them into glistening ergonomic chunks of concentrated aspiration. It took the laptop and the coffee table book and created the iBook. Now it’s taken the iBook and the iPhone and distilled them into a single device that answers a rhetorical question you weren’t really asking.
It’s an iPhone for people who can’t be arsed holding an iPhone up to their face. A slightly-further-away iPhone that keeps your lap warm. A weird combination of portable and cumbersome: too small to replace your desktop, too big to fit in your pocket, unless you’re a clown. It can play video, but really – do you want to spend hours staring at a movie in your lap? Sit through Lord of the Rings and you’d need an osteopath to punch the crick out of your neck afterwards. It can also be used as an ebook, something newspapers are understandably keen to play up, but because it’s got an illuminated display rather than a fancy non-backlight “digital ink” ebook screen, it’ll probably leave your eyes feeling strained, as though your pupils are wearing tight shoes.
The iPad falls between two stools – not quite a laptop, not quite a smartphone. In other words, it’s the spork of the electronic consumer goods world. Or rather it would be, were it not for one crucial factor: it looks ideal for idly browsing the web while watching telly. And I suspect that’s what it’ll largely be used for. Millions of people watch TV while checking their emails: it’s a perfect match for them.
Absurdly, Apple keeps trying to pretend it’ll make your life more efficient. Come off it. It’s an oblong that lights up. I’m sick of being pitched to like I’m a one-man corporation undertaking a personal productivity audit anyway. I don’t want to hear how the iPad is going to make my life simpler. I want to hear how it’ll amuse and distract me; how it plans to anaesthetise me into a numb, trancelike state. Call it the iDawdler and aggressively market it as the world’s first utterly dedicated timewasting device: an electronic sedative to rival diazepam, alcohol or television. If Apple can convince us of that, it’s got itself a hit.
Some people are complaining because it doesn’t have a camera in it. Spoiled techno-babies, all of them. Just because something is technically possible, it doesn’t mean it has to be done. It’s technically possible to build an egg whisk that makes phonecalls, an MP3 player that dispenses capers or a car with a bread windscreen. Humankind will continue prosper in their absence. Not everything needs a 15-megapixel lens stuck on the back, like a little glass anus. Give these ingrates a camera and they’d whine that it didn’t have a second camera built into it. What are you taking photographs of anyway? Your camera collection?
And don’t bring up videocalls to defend yourself: it’d be creepy talking to a disembodied two-dimensional head being held at arm’s length, and besides, the iPad is too heavy to hold in front of your face for long, so you’d end up balancing it in your lap, which means both callers would find themselves staring up one another’s others nostrils, like a pair of curious dental patients. (Videocalls are overrated anyway. You just sit there staring at each other with nothing to say. It’s like a prison visit: eventually one of you has to start masturbating just to break the tension.)
Personally, I’m not sure whether I’ll buy an iPad, although I think – I think – I’m about to buy an iBook. Yes, I was a dyed-in-the-wool Mac sceptic for years. Yes, I’ve written screeds bemoaning the infuriating breed of smug Apple monks who treat all PC owners with condescending pity. But being chained to a Sony Vaio for the last few weeks has convinced me that I’d rather use a laptop that just works, rather than one that’s so ponderous, stuttering and irritating I find myself perpetually on the verge of running outside and hurling it into traffic. (That’s a moan about Sony laptops, not PCs in general, by the way. I’m keeping my desktop PC, thanks: that’s lovely. Smooth as butter. Better than I deserve, in fact.)
I just hope buying an iBook won’t turn me into an iPrick. I want a machine that essentially makes itself invisible, not a rectangular bragging stone. If, 10 minutes after buying it, I start burbling on about how it’s left me more fulfilled as a human being, or find myself perched at a tiny Starbucks table stroking its glowing Apple with one hand while demonstratively tapping away with the other in the hope that passersby will assume I’m working on a screenplay, it’s going straight in the bin.
The iBin. Complete with built-in camera. $599.99.

You may have been reading about Who Killed Summer, or as it is also affectionately known as WKS09 on my blog; well if you haven’t, WKS is  “an interactive murder mystery online reality TV show drama series where “six hot young music lovers from across Europe are brought together by Vodafone for the summer of their lives” as quoted by Vice Magazine.
Anyway, this week the WKS09 cast and crew held a party at the Old Blue Last boozer in East London as a ‘task’ that is featured in the latest episode of the show. We went along and joined the crowd as actual EXTRA’s as the party was being filmed for the show! EXCELLENT! There were several bands and DJ’s that played, my absolute highlight being Mike Passenger – whom I have not stopped talking about since Thursday! We’re waiting for his album to drop through our letterbox any day now, when it does I will give a full review. He was absolutely breathtakingly amazing! Had a great night! Thanks guys!
So I thought that while I was there I would have a snoot about the fashionable lot and I’ve picked my fave people below, if you were there/if I’ve picked you as a fashionable person, let me know so I can credit you as being wholly style-full!

Could not help but notice the abundance of AllSaints merch at the party either! Boom! Tete was wearing the ‘Canvas Slip Boot’, which might I add look amazing on, and she told me they were really comfy too! Bonus time! Billy wears the ‘Strike High Top’ trainer.

We all know Jude’s fave brand is AllSaints too, so I wasn’t surprised to see him head to foot in AllSaints attire under his very chic hot dog costume! Jude was wearing the Mens Military Boots, Checked ‘Confederate’ Shirt and Mens Skinny Jeans!

I think that Billy must have been raiding Jude wardrobe too! Billy was wearing the ‘Confed Tee’, which I’m tempted to by myself! Love it!

I had noticed that Jude, of Who Killed Summer fame, wears a fair bit of directional highstreet. Since I added the Who Killed Summer post I had lots of questions about the clothing, so I’m dedicating a good old ‘Who Wears What’ to Who Killed Summer!
This post I’m looking at Jude…
So, from Episode 3, I noticed that Jude loves his highstreet clothing, especially AllSaints ‘Ino Swimshorts’, ‘Void Tee’ (also on that Channel 4 advert that’s before Comedy programmes) and the ‘Rogue Gallery’ Tee. Really really like those tye dye swimshorts, much better than an average floral/block colour pair.
Jude and Claire relaxing in France, Jude wears the politically correct ‘rogue gallery’ tee and the aforementioned ‘ino swimshorts’.
In true Jude style, his head is missing in this piece of B-Roll! (a la the incident with Liam Gallagher! heh) But you can tell it’s him wearing his signature AllSaints style; the Void Tee and a leather jacket with skinny black jeans.
A rock-and-roll star? Maybe… Jude again, wears an AllSaints checked ‘confederate shirt’, and the reoccurring leather jacket at Bennicasim.
Also, I couldn’t help but notice that Tete was wearing the amazing Amos Gilet – noticed there’s a few still online! You’d be really lucky to get your hands on one! I do still adore the Amos Jacket though!
