iGore is very happy. He gets some of everything people spend with Apple.

They should have used this opportunity to unveil it for both devices. I expected to see that, but alas, it appears as though we’ll remain flashless for the foreseeable future.

so basically the ASUS eeee that was a padd will do the same job for the same size.

an iphone for people with fat fingers.

I expect all the netbook makers will have one on the shelf in six months.

it does look pretty.

I am sure you have to repurchase all your iPhone apps to use on this?

If purchased separately

64 GB SSD drives are likely in the $100 wholesale range.

250 GB SSD $600-$700 wholesale.

No, they just said that it’ll sync all your apps that are already on your itunes. So, they’re not trying to get you there.

If this thing is more than $300 though, I don’t see it as anything I’d buy. Under that pricepoint, I’d consider buying one. It still isn’t setting the world on fire as far as I’m concerned.

Although I can't stand the Apple Fanboys, and I am not overwhelmed with Macs, Ipods, or Iphones, I have been eagerly awaiting this device. I could seriously use one, the iPhone is just too small for what I need. Netbooks are too big, I dont need to do alot of typing. Giant iPhone, yep.. this might just be the trick.

That said, can we keep all the iPad news one one thread??

I don’t think they pay anywhere near that much in the wholesale range. Maybe 2 years ago, but not now.

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.... Microsoft should hire you - and for a LOT of money!

That was the funniest thing I have read in a long, long time.

“WOW so people have been waiting months to see THAT..its ugly in my opinion..it just looks like a giant iphone”

The border around the screen seems unnecessarily wide to me. It would look much cooler with a narrower frame.
