I think it looks pretty good...It is aimed at competing with the Kindle and all other e-book readers first and formost. You guys cant seriously think that it would come with a camera, multitasking and every other feature under the sun. That starts to compete with the MB/MBP line and isn't a good business decision. By keeping it simple and adding features that e-book readers dont have but net-books do they positioned themselves right in the middle for someone wanting to by either device. So I say nice job, could have some better features but they pass in my book...

Naming the iPad the iPad instead of the iSlate = stupid.
iPod, iPad, iPhone.... Get off the p kick...and realize that the iPad is too closely named to the iPod.

Yeah they claim 10 hours doing video rendering... which would be a feat in itself.
My iPhone lasts a good 8-10 hours while playing music, games and video all day...

I don't think it'd be very good for that. Without tactile feedback on the keyboard, forget touch typing. Besides- it'd have to be at an awkward viewing angle to type on it. It'd really doesn't seem useful for writing more than a couple sentences on. You also can't draw on the notes (critical if you're an engineering, chemistry, or medical student and still useful for many other majors).

They should get off the "i" kick, too. What that hell is it for? It's iMeaningless. "Slate" is a nice sounding word though- I agree that would sound much better. Or if they give it actual computer (instead of iPod) hardware how about MacTab or MacSlate. |

Problem solved. It wil also work with BT keyboards as well. So then only thing you need then is the dock to prop it up. Also have the case, As to no tactile feel, I am used to my iPhone. So no problem. |

For me, it still isn't a problem. Apple's BT keyboard is really small and thin. So it can fit in my book bag as with the dock. It may not be the ideal solution for everyone, but it will work for me perfectly.

LOL...true nuff.
I get the iKick. It's their mantra, but stop it there, for the love of God. Which is likely why I'll be keeping my Mini 9 in lieu of this. Does everything I want it to do, is compactible, and allows me a lot more functionality for less (oh darn, I don't get a touch screen...I'll live).
