interesting… damn interesting
startigng to look more and more like a big iPod Touch…
I don’t know why everyone is making such a big deal about this.
Didn’t the Apple iPad come out years ago? :rolleyes:
Dammit. I want one. </reluctentfanboi>
No multitasking, not even a camera. Fail.
Hrm, I dunno, trying to figure out what use I would have for one - I have a desktop(Mac) at home, a desktop(PC) at work, and an iPhone for the few minutes in between. 
Guess I’m not mobile enough to see a use for this kind of thing.
Cool design though. Guess we know what the iPhone 4G will look like later this year…
You don’t spend Sundays in bed surfing the web, I’m guessing.
Well, when I have three 22+ inch screens on my desktop machine, there’s some incentive to laze around at my desk instead
When I do lie in bed awake, I’ll browse the web on my iPhone from time to time, but mostly I’ll listen to podcasts, requiring no screen whatsoever. I suppose the iPhone is ‘good enough’, at least for me anyways. As always, these products are designed to hit a specific market, (in this case, netbook/lowend laptop users), and with their low starting price I think they may be able to break into this market. Certainly fills in a gap in their product line.
It will be interesting to see how iApp developers handle this new screen. Hopefully they’ll produce some interesting new touch interfaces.

I think I’d rather have something like this. If apple had something similar, I would sell body parts for it.
The form factor on this thing sucks. I don’t need BD Tool let alone BD Gun. I had such the right size with the Palm T|X. I’m not Jayne and like to hide devices in pockets at times.
Grumble. So close. The closest to replace my (sadly discontinued) Palm T|X handheld is the iPod Touch. While smartphones are nice, I want something to hold data that does not also make calls. The last thing I want is to curl up with a smartphone, read an e-text, fall asleep, and then call somebody while sleeping. The T|X avoided that but alas…
I’ve heard that somewhere before.
Yours or someone else’s?
Why? Are you volunteering? 
I think it’s a viable option for someone who is wliling to trade some portability for a bigger screen. As a bigger portable chameleon device it works, and it certainly trumps Netbooks (which I can’t believe were even INVENTED), and if I’m considering an iPod Touch, I’m certainly asking myself if the difference between $400 and, say, $600-700 is that big for what I want out of it. That being said, I like my iPod Classic because of what I use these devices for, and my wife loves her iPod Touch, but I don’t see how it’s all that great.
Also, the iPad is going to be a kid-magnet of unknowable strength. I oculd never whip that thing out at home without my little guy running over and throwing a fit when he can’t touch it.
I just bought this new laptop and I really like it because I feel like I can do whatever I want. Being restricted so heavily on this device and putting your content within Apple’s oversight for such a cost is what gets me the most, as wavy tweeted.
