I have an iPhone (great device/dreadful phone - but then we all knew that) so why on earth do I need a bigger one?! I get the idea that I can sit on the train and read books and watch 10 hours of video having had it hanging around without charge for up to a month (yeah right - like that's gonna live up to expectations) but I'm still having to carry my laptop so I'm taking two devices?? I don't think so!
Absolutely everything Apple has done before has been surrounded in hype and they've compeltely pulled it off - but this (as the share price right this second would suggest) is NOT their finest hour.
Oh sure it'll sell - but I for one am disapointed.
3G on ATT. Fail. Basically you are just getting the unlimited data plan that they mandate on all iPhone users. However $14.99 for 250 megs isn't a bad start for any future tiered data rates that may show up.
All of you morons just registered today to ditch apple? For crying out loud don't you idiots have anything better to do than troll apple product launches....2 posts, 1 post, 3 posts, everyone of you...get a girlfriend, or boyfriend...jesus...apple is so hot all the losers flog around like flies.
Actually, I've been a member for quite some time. I simply don't typically waste my time on these forums, as with most, it is full of idiots and fanboys.
I apologize if I hurt your feelings as a result of you being unable to see the big picture. I've been in IT industry long enough to know a killer when I see it as well as a missed opportunity. The two major things this device needs is enough battery life to be usable in a real environment for 10 hours (allows a safety window on power) and a camera or two... if one, a rotating job. Since, *I* can't see any detailed images of the device and I haven't seen it mentioned yet, I have to assume it is sans camera.

They didn't mention memory (RAM) capacity. The Times live blog said, " 16 GB of memory, 32 or 64 Gigabytes of storage," but obviously they got this wrong.
The cloud man ...the cloud....it's where were heading.

I wonder what's Apple definition of 'Unlocked'[/CENTER]

Another brilliant first post!
It isn't that great.
1. Its not a game changer
2. Its nothing more then a larger iPod Touch
3. It can't work as a Mac. No version of iLife or iWorks like rumored. It has no real processing power.
4. Unlike some have mentioned its not powerful enough for Slate computing to take over notebooks.
5. They can bundle it with Apple Tv and try and sell it at Costco because thats the only way they are going to make money on this.
Odd, I saw lots of mention of iWork.
You couldn't wait 15 min, could you?
Point there....
(I was going by past keynotes which typically lasted close to an hour; I was getting a tad worried as he clock struck....)
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.
$499 - Spot On!
