I dunno, it would work for me to be honest.

I have joked that i should get one and make the font massively huge and claim it is an MP3 for seniors with bad eyesight, but for my regular computer use, it would be good!  Like when i am sitting on the couch and watching tv, and want to look up IMDB for where i have seen an actor/actress... For wheni am using a recipe from the interwebz, and don't want to get flour or spices on my laptop (My ipod touch works, but is hard to read)  FOr surfing Maaca/cgcc in bed (Don't kid yourselves, wheni post someting at 11:00, i am naked... NAKED!!!! LIVE WITH IT!)

its a lot of money for something kinda limited, but to be honest, the one thing i wish my ipod touch had, was a bigger screen.  This pretty much covers that!  My ipod touch is almost never used as a music player.... more often to look something up online, surf kijiji, or play video games while my dog is outside peeing.

AND....

To all of us who were planning on touchscreen jukes, and wished you could build something small and wall mount it? VOILA!  mount a dock with speakers on the wall, and you have a touchscreen juke, that friends can look up porn and check email on.

Depending on my finances at the time, i'll probably be getting one.

Maybe i'll wait for gen II... 64 gigs can be a little tight.... escpecially if i keep my porn collection there.


DAMMIT! can you imagine? when i was a kid having a couple of skin mags was sooo hard to hide from my mom!  Just hide the file on your ipad, go into the bathroom and..... umm, research homework!

... I love this thread. It's like seeing a very-liberal-hippie Democrat debate politics with a war-mongering bible-hugging Republican. Eventually, it always ends up in a fight to the death!

And the funny thing is they are friends...Hippo and Johny_eh. Best to agree to disagree and see who is right in a couple of month's time re: Apple share price.

BTW, I take back my comment about this being the first Apple product I would seriously consider. No multitasking? No USB? No Flash??? Really, no flash? No thanks.

"Were" friends! How can I be friends with someone that disagrees with me!

I'll bet this will be infinitely more interesting:

That does look interesting. and it might 'feel' more like a book if you were to use it as a Kindle. I like the design direction/'look' much more than Apple as well (not that the aesthetics are more important over function) Not unlike iPods, the iPad looks like it is trying to beef up its digital novel (iBooks?) subscription/downloads ... which is a good idea.

I'm predicting luke-warm reviews on the first version, with fixes and upgrades (ie. a USB port and a camera) coming one upgrade per hardware revision, to be released at LEAST in six-month intervals, thereby rendering all previous versions obsolete and disposable (but don't worry, Apple will gladly recycle your old one for you for free).

Sound familiar?  

*insert sheep noise here*

From all the reading I did I say FAIL.  Just another product to channel you to their Apple store, since this will be the only avenue to get anything on this thing.  It looks like they took the OS from the IPHONE and made the screen bigger. This isn't bleed edge stuff anymore just a cash grab.

p.s. Apple stock is down $8.37 at this very moment..........
Should have SOLD SOLD SOLD

p.s. I love my crappy Chinese knockoffs...where else, but on my I-Clone, can I play "Magic Sushi", and "Super Fantastic Hero Man"

Ugly day for APPLE for sure ... but the general market is also taking a butt kicking ... no where near as bad as the kicking APPLE is taking tho.

I'd rather get one of these:

and look!  It has a USB port.. fancy that!

Love the "facts" presented, though it has no bearing on the device itself.

"Your PC can take 2 minutes to power on". If my PC took 2 minutes to power on, I'd be taking it out in my back yard and shooting it...not even my laptop takes that long, and it's 3 years old!
