Put me in with the "what?" crowd. It's a giant iPod Touch. It's a thinner smaller laptop with no keyboard. :shrug: It might appeal to a niche market of "people who have iPods but don't have Apple desktops, and want to try a Tablet as a second computer instead of buying a traditional laptop". But they make non-Apple notebook computers which are probably a lot cheaper than what this is going to be. I don't get it.

Now, if they managed to get it down to Kindle DX price $450ish, then it might be a game changer. But they won't. And, for me, I wanted it to be a good media reader. LCD <<<<<<<<< eink. So, again, a loss for me on that front. |
This would be great for traveling, but what else? I'd rather have the mobility of the iPhone, rather than the scaled up screen with that same aps. Like I said though, something more has to be coming. If not, this could have been released quite a long time ago.

They're demoing the book reader now.
Still no mention of how it stacks up to Kindle/Nook/etc. That's the issue. |
Looks like a freaking joke. Basically a 10" iPod touch.

And seriously, didn't all of the huge Mac sites know this was coming? Maybe they could have called up their hosts and asked for a little more server power for a day. It's like a ****ing geocites page getting thrown on slashdot. Come on, guys...

i like the idea of the courier booklet ... you can read double side and you have controls that aren't in the middle of your screen. i wish the would make the kindle 2 a booklet. it would double the screen area without increasing the size much and would allow them to make the buttons etc more user friendly. |
For comparison, Ed Kennnedy's memoir on Apple's iBook store = 15. Amazon: 10.

Hell, think about their issue with WinMo 7 and the delays there. Microsoft is too unfocused. So I don't see courier being released any time soon. Of course, I'd love to be wrong. Competition is always good. |
Launching into the iWork demo, which is what -should- separate this thing from an iPhone/touch.
