...phones and errands. Su is every bit the urban beauty queen: meticulously dressed in a checkered jacket and a light blue skirt, face frozen in a neutral, pensive gaze that doesn’t break even while talking. El-Hage appears restless, by contrast, as she pecks at her keyboard with a forceful energy. A few minutes later, the triumvirate is completed by the arrival of Carmen V. Feliz-Taveras ’11, who smiles warmly as she kneels in front of them and gives them the latest updates...

...biggest technology trade show on the calendar, Microsoft unveiled something it called a Tablet PC. Just for good measure, the company unveiled it again at Comdex in 2001. But it never particularly caught on, because who wants a computer that's basically an underpowered netbook without a keyboard? The Tablet PC was much like a piece of paper, except it was heavier and more expensive and it broke when you dropped it. (See pictures of vintage computers...

...weapons those other companies don't have. It has world-beating displays. It has plenty of expertise in low-power engineering; the iPad's specs say it can do 10 hours of Web surfing on one charge. More important, to make up for the absence of a keyboard, Apple has its much patented multitouch technology.

Like the iPhone, it can't multitask, and it doesn't appear to have a serious file-handling system. I've tried its much ballyhooed full-size virtual keyboard, and it feels like typing with frostbite. It doesn't even have a damn camera. But you will care about it, because whoever designed its graceful lines and intuitive interface cared about you. (See a roundup of iPad reviews at Techland.com...
