    'Idiots?' Wow. Brave. Coming from some unknown -- possibly nothing -- who posts anonymously on an internet forum.

    Gee! Thanks for clarifying that. None of us know that!

    I don't know, and frankly don't care, about posters' personal habits. Btw, it's 'typos'. Learn to place your apostrophes correctly before correcting others' 'typo's' [sic].

    One more thing: answer the actual question. Or, shut up.

    You are doing of brilliant job of breaking down postings and making inept comments on each sentence. Bravo or as solipsism would say Bravo Tu fais des progrès.

    Adding a Smiley Face to an insult shows immaturity, unless you're a high school student. But that seems to be the norm in this room.

    I don't claim to be perfect. I make mistakes. I can admit it, I'm human.

    What is 'inept' about my 'brilliant' response? Do you even know what the word means? (I don't understand your French, btw).



    Perhaps you're being purposely dense (I doubt it, though). You still have not answered my actual question.



    It is usually a good idea to think before you post. Unless you're hammered, that is.

    I have no trouble being immature for my age.

    Good punctuation. At least, you took the trouble to proof-read this time.

    Neither does the rest of the room when solipsism does. He does it to make him sound smart. Google it like he does...



    "Bravo You make progress"



    Pointless, as is this forum posting for a non existant product. Yet this is the 40'th posting for the same product. By this time I think we've all had enough of analyst's opinions, speculation and outlandish guesses as to what may or may not happen at the end of the month.



    What we do know is Google is having a REAL press release tomorrow. That should be the news an not this recycled garbage.



    Google is a competitor and their press conference is in the morning and not a single posting for it today on AI (Absent Intelligence).



    I'd think with the mindshare that Google is gathering it would be worthy of a posting today for tomorrow's event.

    Actually I didn't, I type and post. I don't care about a dictionary; spell check or thesaurus to feel intelligent. It's a forum posting, not journalism 101 as some here would like to think.

    With such low esteem for 'Absent Intelligence' and such contempt for the posters here, why are you wasting time posting here? Got nothing better to do with your life? Low opportunity cost to your time, huh? Or is it low amour-propre?



    Oh, I don't waste time Googling pointless nonsense, especially from arrogant types like you.

    And back to the forum posting.



    Edit. Touché on the Low Self Esteem comment, you’ve learned Google Translate.



    Might be a good option on the nonexistent Flintstone Slate from Apple.

    As long as this room is off topic.



    According to "All Things Digital", Apple has entered the Google Game by purchasing Quattro. Quattro is a competitor to AdMob but Apple paid about $500K less.



    Welcome to the Ad Game Apple. That is innovation at it's best.



    http://kara.allthingsd.com/20100104/...r-275-million/



    Kind of a game changer for the Apple faithful in this room isn't it. Fear Google, they compile data on you. Apple has entered the market so now it's all good.



    Edit: Solipsism, I see you’re back in the room... Did you check back after you gave the last bottle a chance to breathe or are you going to post something coherent this time?

    It's not about "feeling" intelligent, it's about your point coming across as intelligent. If one types like an idiot and doesn't pay attention to proper English grammar, punctuation and spelling, one's 'intelligent" contribution to this forum loses all credence when it reads like it's coming from an uneducated ignoramus. Plus, it only serves to bolster the opinion of our friends across the pond(s) that we Americans are stupid, arrogant, opinionated a-holes. If you want to come across that way to your buddies, fine, but when you are visiting an international forum, kick it up a notch and use the education you were taught.



    If you don't like the recycled topic, don't visit or "contribute". All you're doing is picking fights and attacking.



    If you are not a fellow American, I apologize. Honestly, I can't imagine that you're not by the way you're coming across.

    You must be referring to Solipsism's comment. Who is the coherent one?

    It can be a good strategy to intimidate your opponents. Though we uSually we it in vapourware claims that never come to pass. Perhaps the advance notice is more for publishers to see which ones haw signe on and or them to guage reaction.



    Edit: and Solipism is out of the room. The new bottle of wine must have been to his tasting.

    Is it to test the market reaction before assembling them?

    Get some hype going?

    Give the competition 2 months to copy it, thereby rushing it to market and sucking so that the iSlate stands above?



    I don't think you have to worry about people copying it. Apple is already copying others, except Apples equipment will not stack up to what is currently out there. Don't expect amazing things. I hear it is going to get a giant ipod, and you will be limited to the app store for programs. What a world without walls, try an existing slate such as this one that is just as sexy in appearance as anything apple would make:
