Don't you think that with this name change Apple is finally positioning itself in the field of mass consumer electronics producers like Sony, Samsung, Philips etc?
So, on the long run, if Apple expands, wouldn't it be logical to expect much more products that are less computer related?

what's a computer?
therein lies the question.

ha. good point.
so let me rephrase this question:
"is this the end of the computer as we know it?"are we finally witnessing the babysteps of a new breed of thinking artificial extensions?
no longer to be recognized as computers but harnessing the same or better computing powers and qualities?

i think we are going to see the beginning of the end of the personal computer as we know it tomorrow.
apple is different because they are not concerned about adding features to it's existing hardware form-factors, which is simply something a lot of the pc croud does not understand. it's about rethinking the way we use and interact with technology.

right on, that is the spirit of innovation!

I could not be more pro-Apple than after today's unveiling.
They have easily established themselves as the most innovative company in the computer industry, and then the portable music industry, and now they have planted a quite impressive flag in the mobile phone industry.
They are the only company in their field that is forging new ground with each product release and even with each version of their line of products. How many companies out there change the color and add another megapixel to the camera and call it a new model of the same phone? How many versions of the RAZR phone can Motorola make before they actually move the industry forward in a way that compares the achievment that apple has laid out?
I almost feel sorry for whatever electronics/tech companies they set their sites on next.

I think the device seems phenomenal, but there isn't anything new in it but the interface. What Apple reinvents is the method of interaction.

Unlike these half res 'HD ready' rip-offs out there. With apple tv the circle is complete.

you guys misunderstand me. this happens all the time. please step out of your ego-sensitivities such as hate, prejudism and all that and look at were computers may be going from a neutral point of view.
it seems more and more fascinating!
i have also been thinking about digital ink lately, what if you could have a poster on your wall that changes image, whenever this technique may be come more and more affordable..
