It looks pretty lame to be quite honest. It would preform poorly as an iPod, and poorly as a computer. The only thing that would make me EVER consider buying one would be adding pen support (which they brag about not having, no joke. Watch the video.) and making it able to run computer programs. Then, when paired with Photoshop or a similar program it could be great for drawing. Just go sit where ever you want and you're free to draw. It'd be great for landscapes and whatnot, provided you hate pen and paper. Even then I probably wouldn't get one. But as it stands, it seems utterly useless and I have a feeling the novelty will wear off within a month. Then again, we are talking about Mac fanboys, Steve Jobs could wipe his a*s and they'd praise it as art.

Looks like a massive, easily broken Ipod touch. For more money.

Oh. Well that's what it is. Good one.

That's what I thought when I saw it earlier today on MSN News, lol.

But no, I'm not surprised, and it seems highly unnessecary when you can just buy a laptop, which probably won't shatter into five thousand pieces if you drop it.

Yes, that's what I would use it for, drawing, but I don't think I'd buy it, I already have a laptop and honestly, a simple tablet is much cheaper...

Yeah, it will die down in a month. Then they will come up with some new bull. Like iPad 1.5, now it has Solitaire!

The only thing that surprised me was how poor quality it is. Weak processor, funky (almost) 4:3 resolution, giant black bezel, and no camera(s). Apple screwed themselves over this time.

So now that Apple's conquered mp3s, phones, and computers, they should build cars. I wonder what one would look like...
