So they basically took a mini laptop and ripped off the keyboard?

Some people are saying that Apple just took a iPhone and just made it bigger. I'm curious about the price.

That’s not too bad. I was guessing it would be hard to get the price under $900.

I read it would be up to 1K. I’m sure we will be one of the first to have one, my husband is a gadget guru. Lucky for me, the person who just wants something to work when she goes to use it!

Sorry, forgot the sarcasm tag. I’m a tech guy who, through age and burn out, has come to see some of this tech stuff as pure silliness.

No, I don’t need an internet enabled toliet paper dispenser so that the dispenser can order more paper from the local grocery.

Too much for me. If it was in the 3-4 hundred dollar range, I might tempted to buy one.

I really dont see how any of this is earth shattering....just different, more expensive Apple packaging.

I suspect you can get one to do just WiFI, or not have to turn on 3G unless you want to. I would like to see it tether (via BT, cable or ad hoc WiFi) to the iPhone for 3G

I’ll take viruses and the occasional blue screen of death over a really hormonal MAC.

New commercial:

PC: “I’m a PC”

MAC: “Is that all I am to you?! Just a machine? I see you looking at other laptops. Meanwhile, I sit here all day downloading your music, collecting your email, and keeping your files while you’re out all day doing whatever! It’s just like that day six years ago, March 12th, about 3pm, you said you would be home early to go shopping with me - and you forgot! Your probably forgot didn’t you - you selfish bastard!!... All I ever do in this relationship is give, give, give and....

It seems that the 6 - 7 hundred dollar range was what I read earlier in the day, but it may have been speculation.
