Sure it doesn't look as pretty but it gets the job done. I feel that apple calling what that thing runs OSX is a lie. I really doubt you'll be able to just load any old app onto it. If I don't like safari will I be able to load on firefox? I somehow doubt it seeing as there is no real desktop and no real expansion capabilities. I also feel that 4-8 GBs will be way too little memory if you plan on using it for all the things that apple says you can use it for.<br /><br />And no way will it be easier or faster to write an e-mail on that then on a treo or a blackberry. I'll believe the hype behind "multi-touch" when I see it.<br /><br />I feel that the apple bubble is going to burst within two years and that this may be the boondoggle they need to start. I really don't see who they're marketing it to. The average schlub on the street doesn't need this (and it's way too pricey) and the average business exec is already happy with their blackberry and I don't think this will be better for sending e-mail.<br /><br />Of course the apple-nuts will go into a fit over this (complete with foaming at the mouth) and gobble them up no matter how flawed they may be though so that's at least a good amount sold. I just don't see the mainstream picking these up.<br /><br />With all that said I still want one but will not pay for it myself.Dani B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12600404109229720080noreply@blogger.com
