In my novel His Robot Girlfriend set in the year 2032, people use devices called TexTees. The iPad is probably more advanced than the device I describe in the book, since I wrote it several years ago, I was thinking along the lines of the Kindle. Still, I call mine my TexTee.
OMG I loved your book, it got me daydreaming beyond belief!
I don't recall where I found it, perhaps here on the Forums, but I'm sure glad I did. What an original story and I loved the Textee's in the book. I remember reading that story back when the iPad was first shipping and thinking how awesome the things would be that my iPad would be used for.
I can say I surpassed those ideas and still going strong. I'm finding new things almost daily to make the iPad a part of almost every hour of every day. Without going back and re-reading certain chapters, I would say the iPad was being described in your book, before the iPad was available too!
One thing I kept thinking all throughout the book, "This is most definately our future and I want one too!" My wife might get angry but maybe she could start out as our maid.
