It’s up: http://www.apple.com/

I predict record pre-orders, but then again, I thought the Chargers were headed for the Super Bowl.

Impressive.

Wow, a giant iPod touch,and still only 64 gigs. Now apps are $10 bucks. Personally, I don’t see te need, but I’m sure Apple will sell millions to the geek set who will line up all night to fork over their cash.

AP could report its way out of a paper bag.

The $499 version has no 3G and thus no use for an AT&T data plan.

I love my iPhone, but the AT&T service is damn bad, it’s frustrating. This particular device is impressive. I must say that I’m thrilled to get away from a desk, a mouse and a keyboard and still have a screen big enough to satisfy my aging eyes.

So it’s a netbook except it’s made by Apple (which means underpowered and overpriced.)
Woohoo!

Just one of the killer uses (hows that for creating a new term) for the iPad is college textbooks.

DW is a Professor at a mid-sized university, and right now, today, her students can save ~50% of textbook costs by buying as eBooks, rather than on paper. With 4-5 courses per semester and $100 per course for paper books, this thing pays for itself in one year.

Within 2 years many colleges will be requiring one of these for incoming students.

Too bad it uses AT&T. If it was Verizon, I’d get one.
