Whatever it is i'm gitty with delight. Inhave Apple fever and can't wait to see the new product even though indont plan on purchasing a tablet in the nearnfuture."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

I wonder what the price will be. This sounds like a much better option than the Kindle."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Looks super awesome, although I am not sure why I would get that instead of a MacBook. I would assume many of the features will also be available on future versions of the MB.
My question would be how does it perform in the daylight? Since it appears to be more of a web content driven device instead of a reader.
Edit: I will be curious to see how investors respond to the launch, Apple has been on a major growth since January of 2009. Opened today at $206.81Last edited by HuskyFreeNorthwest; 01-27-2010, 07:21 AM.Get confident, stupid

I just hope Apple doesn't name the tablet the "iPad" since that will doom the product from day one."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

I hope this does to textbooks what the ipod (and other mp3 players) did to the walkman.
Textbooks can be improved on soooooo much. They really shouldn't exist anymore the way that they do. It would be more conducive to the way we learn now to have much more linking, audio, and video content. We are required now to learn so much more in the same amount of time and this would speed up the process.

I don't really get the tablet as an ereader. I think the strength of an ereader is that it uses eink which doesn't strain your eyes like a backlit display does. I'd take an ereader or a real book over a tablet any day. That said, there are a lot of other reasons I'd like a tablet. I wish I had one every time I use my laptop when I fly or use public transportation.
I've also read a couple of articles that say Apple's going to announce that AT&T won't be the exclusive iPhone distributor anymore.Not that, sickos.

I'm guessing it will be a new mode of transportation that will change the way we commute through urban environments. Maybe some kind of scooter. It will feature gyroscopes and will respond to the movements of the rider. It will be the most groundbreaking invention ever. They just need to think of a name...Kids in general these days seem more socially retarded...
None of them date. They hang out. They text. They sit in the same car or room and don't say a word...they text. Then, they go home and whack off to internet porn.
I think that's the sad truth about why these kids are retards.

Naturally you can read books on a computer, or an iPhone (Kindle reader for iPhone is sort of interesting), but you have serious limitations. You can't toss a laptop into the backpack for a 40mile trek. Kindle, si se puede.

It is powered by Apple's custom silicon, comes with 16, 32 or 64 GB of flash storage. It has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, an accelerometer and compass. Ten hours of battery life.
