I saw that thing yesterday. How the fuck is it suppose to replace the net books? I get that it is small and sleek but the thing doesn't fold so typing would be a bitch. Basically lay your laptop screen all the way down and type.

I guess Starbucks will be removing tables soon so their customer base can have room to prop their leg up (which will be crazy uncomfortable after a while).

The coolest thing I have ever seen Apple do is adapt their computer to switch from the Mac thingy to Windows.

Hey Smittie, ever hear of the blue tooth keyboard? I have one, it cost maybe $50. I use it on my lap top when it is hooked to the TV or on my PS3. I'd imagine that it will work for this as well... In fact, I wonder if you can build this into your home network and WiFi stream stuff from your home computer and other stuff? Besides, I send stuff blue tooth between my phone and computer all the time.

How do you plan to prop up the screen? Bring a picture frame stand? Shit, by the time you bring your blue tooth keyboard, I-pad stand, and get it all set up you could have gotten a Net Book for cheaper.

Oh I'm not making a case for the thing or anything.... I'm just saying that almost all of the problems I keep hearing about can be solved through WiFi or blue tooth. As far as the stand goes, it might come with that or be built in somehow. It wouldn't be hard to develop something that snapped on the back of it. You could make a keyboard the size of a typical cell phone and build a trackball into it. FWIW no one is trying to sell this thing as a computer/notebook/netbook...it's an over sized iPod Touch nothing more, nothing less.
