I got this from Eduardo Pellegrino in the comments section at Asymco website, so I don't want to take credit. Perhaps not the right words, but good words: Per ardua ad astra — Through struggles, to the stars

I wonder if they're going to have issues with heating and cooling with so much glass on top?

It will be interesting to see where this leads. Apple getting a royalty on every other smartphone sold? Tidy little income stream indeed.

I do think the "handoff" transfer of web pages by touching the Pre to the TouchPad is kind of cool. But summer is a long way off. Did they mention pricing? I was following Engadget for a little while but didn't hear prices for any of the phones or t…
