    Except that taxes are not part of the retail price in the USA and Canada.

    As I'm writing this post, Google tells me that 1 Canadian dollar = 1.0006 U.S. dollars.

    What will be the Canadian price for the iPad, however? Even a few months ago when the Canadian dollar was at parity with the American dollar, Apple priced their products at about 5-10% higher for Canadians.

    If I remember correctly, WinCE was mostly used in a few games made in USA and it was on the disc itself, not the console. Most Japanese developers didn't use WinCE because it added an unnecessary layer between their game and the hardware.

  20. Re:Much faster clone time on WePad Tablet Will Use Linux To Rival the iPad · · Score: 3, Insightful

    People still don't get it, however. The WePad thinks it can compete with the iPad with hardware features but will run Linux... which is a server or desktop OS. Apple didn't use their desktop version of Mac OS X on the iPhone, the iPod touch and the iPad for a good reason: portable, touch devices need customized interfaces otherwise it just sucks. I tried using a Blackberry and was shocked to see the tiny cursor that I had to control with a tiny trackball.... Seriously, WTF?
