^It's suppose to be Apple's answer to the netbook...

I'm just waiting on prices now. May have to take my netbook back and cop this joint pronto.

Boy would I have loved flash though. :/
 
Ok...taking it all in. I really don't see the point. I was holding out hope but this is really a big $%% iPod Touch. There's really no big discrepancy between this and the phone/pod. I thought he was aiming for the tablet pc crowd. I was hoping I would be able to run a full OS on this and use it like a laptop.
 
Hold on this thing runs Apps too?

I doubt it'll be that much. If it's competing against the likes of netbooks, then a price point around 500 will be more feasible.

Haha! That would be so funny! People holding it like it is a steering wheel or something.

Does this thing have a camera? Would be kind of cool for iChat on the go. And does this mean that the stupid Apple Mac Air is gone?
 
The border around the keyboard is extremely thick. I dont like it. Hope they drop some info on the MBP.

uh no sarcasm.... it's not portable for a tablet...
it's as big as a netbook yes......
but it can't even do as much as a netbook can...
touchscreen only at 10inches? you can't type unless ur sitting with the tablet on your lap unless u got 8inch thumbs...

i'm saying for a touch only device it's too big...
