I'm not going to spend £1000's just to look at facebook and youtube though. And knowing Apple, this isn't going to reasonably priced. It's going to aspirationally priced.

That's fucking ridiculous ukit, there's no way they'd go to the trouble of offering 5 colours when the whole colour thing died out in the late 90's. It will be black or silver, maybe white as a sort of ironic retro throwback niche fad.
- there will be an 11" horned version as well, but it will be more expensivemonospaced

Great point, dyspl. The fact IS that most people use their computer to check their email (less now than ever, though), fuck around on Facebook, troll the web and entertain themselves. Fewer and fewer people are using their personal computers for getting work done.
I am exactly the kind of person that might use a tablet. I go to work and design on a provided computer, and my own laptop feels cumbersome now that I don't use it to design on much anymore. The iPhone covers most of my computing needs while I'm away from my desk, but its limitations become clear quickly. The tablet would be a great portable.

They all just died...simultaneously.

I think it would be awesome if they didn't even release a tablet or any new computer, but instead entered the weapons industry and released a carbon fiber sniper rifle.

I love these comments about the first iPod in 2001:

"This isn't revoltionary!
I still can't believe this! All this hype for something so ridiculous! Who cares about an MP3 player? I want something new! I want them to think differently! Why oh why would they do this?! It's so wrong! It's so stupid!"Oct 23, 2001, 02:37 PM
"No F-ing Way. All that hype for an MP3 player? Break-thru digital device? The Reality Distiortion Field™ is starting to warp Steve's mind if he thinks for one second that this thing is gonna take off."Oct 23, 2001, 04:11 PM
I have no use for an Mp3 player.
My house has a CD player.
My car has a CD player.
My Mac has a CD player
I don't use headphones.
The iPod requires me to change my lifestyle to meet it's needs...Oct 23, 2001, 05:28 PM macrumors newbie
