I don't really want one since I have an Iphone, but I must say, if you could lay one of those into a dashboard to replace all the dashboard controls of your vehicle it would be a slick deal.

Shoot, I better patten that idea...who knows how to set this up so I can take the credit??

As an Apple fan... I did not.

I might pick one up for my wife when they add a camera for video conferencing and offer multi-tasking. I mean seriously? No Pandora while working on something else or browsing? Short sighted IMO

Not really, it's part of the their life cycle. Can't give the consumer what they want right off the bat. They can do it already, but giving out a little feature here and there over a few years will keep the public's interest.

They do the same with cars. The same reason a the super-sportscar model doesn't come out after the first year a new model is introduced.

Apple has had people drinking the Kool Aide with a nice case and monitor for years. Proprietary? No, that is a feature.

I just want this thing so I'll never have to touch a laptop again.
It's definately going to fall short, but so long as I can surf and check my email without a wobbly red hot laptop on me, I'm good.
Hopefully the next gen will address issues. I'll buy that one, too.

Razorhog · 03-16-2010, 12:43 PM

I want one that runs OS X - then I'll buy.

After seeing only one review of it I trust, and because I think Steve Jobs is comparable to Pol Pot...I doubt I will buy one...EVER....here is the video review I tend to side with...

Durability is very important...so they tell me...like with the lifespan of my BlackBerry...that's had 0 issues...or my Dell...which has had 0 issues that can't be resolved without just restarting my computer....

That might all change if your 'issue' is a 5 iron

Little late to the party on that one.

jaymz · 03-17-2010, 05:39 PM

I used to own a tc1100 ...

shilala · 03-31-2010, 05:29 AM

Got an email yesterday. My iPad shipped from Shenzhen China via UPS. They didn't ship my slipcover thingie with it. Go figure, right?
When I looked yesterday, I thought it was coming from Connecticut. I tracked it awhile ago and finally realized it's coming from China. It might never get here. Grrr.

OK Scott -- you need to focus, take some deep breaths, have a cigar, relax -- you can't have withdrawals before it even arrives
