Not really. MacBook Air had more hype than this when it came out, and received much better reactions, but still sort of failed. People just didn't have too much practical use for it. This thing is far more useless and "extra" than the Air.Originally Posted by balloonoboy

This better not hold back the ipod touch as far as how they upgrade it.
i.e. no camera til the ipad gets one, etc etc

I never said this thing will not be a hit, I am sure it will. But I'am sure that there are a ton of fools that will pick this up as soon as it releases. Just to throw a tantrum next year when the 2nd generation Ipad comes out and they have to drop another $500+. I will not even think about buying one of these for another 1-2 yearrs. When are capable Windows and Andriod products to compete with this thing.Originally Posted by balloonoboy

But I do give them props because ibooks will be the beginning of the end for the print industry.

I can't wait for the first iPad vs. Netbook commercial:
"Hi, I'm a Mac"
"And I'm a PC"
"PC, what are you doing?"
"Multitasking."

That thing looks sweet. It'll probably be MUCH better in a couple generations. Don't sleep on this thing.... it's going to revolutionize the book industry.

It's cool and what not, but the jailbroken version will be
.
With that said, no flash and no camera = passs.
I refuse to buy the 1gen when the future ones will be so much better.
Man, I still need a laptop. I guess I'll wait until the next Macworld.

of course it will be a hit..because everyone will get sucked into buying this thing
but why would you buy this thing if you have a MBP and iPhone?? like someone said..can it print directly over bluetooth? flash? how about a camera for marketing strategies to ichat/skype for the traveler..
this thing will sell obviously but you've got to be kidding me if your about to add this to your collection of apple products....and i love MBPs and iPhones.

how does this replace a macbook air? it doesnt multitask or have flash.
Same goes for a business user, and typing on a touch screen keyboard
now for an e-book, u realize that ebooks have a special screen that is suppose to resemble paper right? cause ppl dont like reading off something with backlight and straining their eyes
so what is this for again?

really though how do you print? do you have to sync or email or does it wirelessly print? I plan to cop one but not anytime soon unless the jailbreakers can get something really good.
