it has no place in this world

I think what isn't made too entirely clear is this thing is meant to be a netbook killer, and eBook killer. It's getting the whole ebook subscription model through its close work it did with Amazon (stab in the back yea) and combining a textbook subscription concept with the iWork integration, and the inevitable printer compatibility, this thing could be the perfect storm for a college student who needs a note taking educational tool. So I don't know. I guess we'll see when it comes out.

LOL

No pictures, Skype, etc.

1. Got it there, though you can listen to the music via the iPod feature and work so that argument you put up is slightly invalid. I really HOPE iPhone OS 4.0 adds multitasking, but who knows at this point.

2. See above posts, magic faggit.

3. Another thing i do wish was in it.

And here i am, looking like some kinda apple zealot, and I don't even own a piece of Foxconn Apple hardware!

Amazon owns the Kindle. The kindle uses pdf's laden with DRM. Soooo..

Sinister Clock

This seriously does not meet the features that most slate laptops have and it's more expensive, and gayer.

Why would anyone who's not a complete apple fanperson buy this over the cheaper, better alternatives with more customizability, power, battery life, features, screen size and pretty much everything else at a much lower price?

PirateClock

I loathe Apple but to be fair the Iphone 3GS is the best smart phone on the market. Everything else they make is shit though.

How long has Google had a constantly-updating "latest results" category?

If it doesn't have flash support it might as well not even go on the internet. Looks like complete crap to me.

Quote from: MorbidlyObeseBlackLady;1722544Has the iBook app to compete with Kindle... sorry amazon you're screwed.

Except Kindle gives you free access to Wikipedia from anywhere forever, so Kindle beats the shit out of it.

This guy puts it perfectly:
Quote from: FrankehJust yesterday I was looking at my iPhone thinking "Hmmm, I wish this thing didn't fit in my pocket." Then I looked over to my netbook and couldn't help but feel it would benefit from losing the keyboard and being made of 50% glass.
Finally apple gives me what I wish.

Holy shit. Magnetics and computer electronics so close together? I can't wrap my head around it.

Smod and higher can. Also keltron has a gaping vaginal orifice.

Apple's book store is missing Random House. So much for the iPad being any sort of worthwhile e-reader.

looks like the bastard son of a laptop and the iPhone, and he doesn't know where he belongs

Theres a difference in that the mini 10 doesn't have a touchscreen or accelerometer or half the shit. And the 4 hour battery life on a good day isn't too spectacular either.

Quote from: CadillacClock;1722721Didn't Microsoft make this useless object last year? Yes, they did.

Note: I don't care about Mac or PC's, I am just saying. It was done.


I really do not see the point in this object. Tell me what purpose this serves to replace a Wacom tablet or Desktop PC/Mac.

Does it have any purpose?

It's a netbook sorta. Netbooks may be able to install any program, doesn't mean they'll run it well (Shame too, I wanted FL Studio on mine). Specialized apps for a specialized system proves a good solution for a "special use" system.
