My biggest issue with this is the screen orientation. I actually like that I can tilt the screen of a laptop anyway I want. But with this, if I want to type on the qwerty, it has to be flat on my lap. Then I have to stare straight down to see anything.
Also, unless it is priced the same as a netbook, it’s bound to fail.
it’s a big iphone right now… I’m waiting for some Halo feature or this is a little disappointing.
Still, if cheap enough it will make the best universal remote for everything in my house + email + web, etc… better than a laptop for my needs without question.
yeah, they are saying that they are trying to bridge the gap between iphone/ipod and the laptop. Jobs said that everyone thought that the netbook was the answer but that this is better…We’ll see
Price point will make or break it… If it is $450 or less, it will work.
Have you met Mac people? Steve Jobs could shit in a bag, call it iShit and sell it for $199.
That said, think I would use this a lot if I had one. I almost never use my laptop around the house now that I have an iPhone. Why wait 60+ seconds for the laptop to come out of hibernation and become usable when the iPhone can be surfing the web or checking email in 1-2 seconds. Even my wife has finally realized how much quicker it is to check/send a quick email from her iTouch than to use the laptop.
The brand-new Apple iPad, contrary to prior rumors, is a Wi-Fi-only device—no 3G from either AT&T or Verizon. Full hardware spec list, constantly updated, after the jump.
