OK I got a really daft question. (flame suit on)

If you get on a train, open up your laptop, bung it on the table and hit play on a movie, you just sit back and watch it.

How do you do this on an iPad? Is there a stand or something. And would it stand up to being jogged about for example on a train?

The iPad has a flash drive so no moving parts. So yes jogging around makes no difference

Out of the box, the iPad has no stand, but there is a case that protects the iPad and doubles up as a stand. That is an official Apple accessory. And just like the iPhone and iPd touch, expect a plethora of related accessories to appear. It is a second market just like the apps are.

Naaa I didnt mean playback issues, I just meant stability, i.e would it fall over lol. I should have been clearer.

Yup just seen the stand/case on GSMArena. Very nice design indeed.
As would be expected, well thought out
