Looks like a giant, way more expensive iPhone to me

HOLY CRAP THAT'S AWESOME.
Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.

Smaller, thinner, more powerful and fits in your pocket works

Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather not be "cool" by tech standards and use anything made by Apple. I don't really care if 90 percent of their products are glossy white.. They're all overpriced pieces of gargabe to me.

I don't think I'll be checking this out.

Actually, upon further, review this is not awesome.

I thought it was a computer. A fully functioning computer.

I used to be one of you, one of the uncool ones. The secret organization I joined when I bought my MacBook last year has changed my life. We call ourselves the "iPeople" (we call you 'the old ones', or 'the ones from the before time').

Each year I must sacrifice a PC product to the Apple god and his voice on Earth, Steve Jobs. My poor poor Dell Inspiron 700m. She was loyal, although the years of frequent use and haphazard internet browsing had left her susceptible to crashes and disease ridden, I had lost no love for her.

Some nights, I can still see the glimmer from her display, and I was there...I stayed to watch the little green LED light fade into the darkness, and at the last moment..it's as if she were saying "I forgive you."

But yeah..looks like an oversized iphone. I love my MacBook (help.they'rewatchingmeevennow.throughthe'icam'), but I really need a keyboard if I'm going to actually use a computer as well...a computer. But, Steve Jobs wants what Steve Jobs wants. Hail Steve Jobs, or you will all be enslaved for giving us yet another revolutionary piece of equipment.

I just can't deal with Apple products. And what is it with like all this wireless stuff these days? I've got a pretty tiny room and I don't think you can walk without stepping on some sort of cable. Call me old, but my god I love cords and cables. Everything from my computer (Which Is a laptop with wireless, but i don't care) to turntables, xbox stuff.. amps.. I love the vintage feel.

This, though.. Man, I don't know. Everything about Apple just screams stupid to me.

Can I even like use audio/video programs? anything?

Well, I mean there is a transition, don't let anyone tell you different.

There are certain websites that saavy people go to in order to watch lengthy divx videos. If you don't get computers on a basic level (I'm not talking programming or anything...just the kind of knowledge you get from growing up in the 90's/2000's and wanting to solve computer/setup issues yourself without calling a 1-800 number), you can usually wade through it. There are millions of mac users out there, and chances are if you have a question, or some software you need for Mac but Mac doesn't make it, there is a free alternative online. Great example, GIMP compared to Photoshop.

Also almost everything is Mac compatible now.

It's apple's netbook.  They shouldn't be too expensive.   Essentially calling it a larger itouch/iphone wouldn't be too incorrect ...

I know a few people who want one, though.

Love my iphone 3gs, though.   Love it.

Starts at 499? I wonder how much higher the other ones will be? I think for it to really catch fire they have to make it a portable idiot box.

Sidenote: My itouch was a life saver when my pc was get fixed. I would log on a post on CB exclusively through it for weeks.

Do you wear it between your legs, like a unisex maxi pad? Is it warm? Does it vibrate?

I'm not a tech wiz by any stretch of the imagination, but I couldn't imagine trying to run Sony Vegas with my finger tips. Or Audacity. Virtual DJ might be fun to run on an iPad, but I have real turntables and real mixers. I'm a big gamer, too (Mostly Xbox but I'll Counter-Strike it up with my brother and his fiance on occasion) things like that just aren't fun on Macs. At least not for me.
