10 hours of "best case" battery life is pathetic. It probably won't even last 4-5 hours under heavy use. They should have made it a few ounces heavier to get at least 8 hours of battery life under heavy use, which would translate to 14-16 hours of "best case" battery life...
I couldn't agree with you more on this aspect. For tablets to truly become mainstream they need to be usable for a typical office day.
Since the powers that be chose a horrible system to handle their live updates of this event I am unable to determine this next question myself... Is the battery user replaceable or is it yet another built-in job?
I see great promise for the device in many business environments if the battery were user replaceable and lasted a full (and then some) business day. But, you'll have to replace the batteries every year. Businesses won't want to send the devices off to get the batteries replaced or buy new ones every year.
SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT!! It looks ugly (huge bezel) and tastes awful... not nearly sufficiently better enough than an iPhone to justify it's bigger size!

I can't confirm for sure obviously, but since Apple is moving all their moble products to an integrated battery, I will bet that this will be the same.
Also the bezel looks huge. First impressions are a bit scrambled...idk what to think yet till i see it in person. \
Same. I'll reserve final judgement until I learn more and see one in person. But from first impressions it just seems too big. The bezel looks clunky by Apple's normal asthetic standards. It's also not at all what I thought the aspect ratio would be.
That is probably the last we'll see of Steve. I can't believe he actually thinks this is the best thing Apple has ever created. What a lame product. Maybe some people need this, not me. The functionality is pretty weak in my opinion.

I am shocked they went with iPad
I was hoping they would sounds better than iSlate!

I personally like iSlate much more. It sounds futuristic and intriguing..

I think the bezel is just right; your fingers have to go somewhere when you are holding it or handing it over to someone to look at something.

Ugh, no flash...seriously?
Give me a price and i'll decide if i should buy or not, looks intriguing but not a must have.
I am going with $499 + data plan. They are going to price this slow to get volume and to position it as a gaming device.
apple stock is tumbling. not a good sign..
stock always plummets after/during an event.

apple stock down 11.00 .. really bad news
You must have a scum-broker if you are getting a quote for that price. The current real time quote is down 3.23 (-1.57%)
where is Ireland??? I hate to think of how he feels right now..
probably smashing something.
Such potential, still awaiting price. If its too high Apple stock will fall like a kamikaze pilot out the sky

Just a guess: You don't read much?
