seems legit, but its biggest claim is to be something in between a smartphone and a computer. both of which i am perfectly happy with. lol

it someone were to hand me one though, i am sure i would have to have one.

I don't see a reason why anyone would want or need that.

I see ppl buying it simply because it's the latest gadget. At $800+ for the decked out model it's too pricey for a "gadget" to me though. Sure you can watch movies, listen to your music, upload photos and even cook with it along side of being an alarm clock as well. I just think it's a bit large to be the "ideal" portable device. Looks awkward. Plus the size leads me to believe it wouldn't take a 4' plunge to the ground without devastating it completely, something all our Ipods and phones have taken with stride.

I see the device flopping in the marketplace. Maybe something along the lines of a device with a 5" screen but this is border line creepy looking lol.

In one's quest into finding out why God made a platypus you have to stand back and ask not how, but why?

You can do all that with a laptop though. I don't get it =\

Exactly. 10 years ago when portable DVD players came out I wanted one as if it were electric sex. Friend of mine wanted to sell me his player for $750. It had a 10" screen. Wasn't happening lol. I thought to myself that a laptop plays DVDs and does sooo much more for about the same price.

Today portable DVD players are like $100. You're not paying for worth but exclusivity.

That hunk of chips is 10 X the size and twice the price it should be. The techies will HAVE to have it but you won't see Spike Lee playing with one during a Laker game.

Yeah with the size of the ipad I agree im not sure how many will want it. And the dropping question was a good one too.

i heard you can only run one app at a time as well

im not sure if this is true - but if it is, it makes this product even worse

Damn, I really like the way apple was going with its products, but this imo is a failure. WTF would you even want this for....at this price?



On the other hand, if I do happen to get my hands on one of these, its sole purpose will be to entertain me in the bathroom!
