I think its really targeted at a table top in front of the TV kinda thing. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one to feel it. How heavy is it, How fragil is it? Can I drop it on the hard wood floor from 4 feet on its corner? How about a cub of hot coffee?
In reality we need to ask Grieve cause you know he already sold his soul for this puppy!!
I do think its cool. Several of my employees are already lined up to buy once its available. I like the fact that the non 3g model is under $500 like they said it would be.
They say this is going to be a netbook killer... Ok I dont own one and have no intention of owning one.
They say this is going to be a Kindle killer.... Hmm we will see. In general Kindle has some nice market share and Amazon has a real lead on not only books available, but the process to add more books. Also I havent done a comparison, but it seems like the kindle would have allot more battery life. I do think its funny that the "apple-ites in the office are talking about Kindle proprietary DRM. Hello!! This is apple!
I do like that it is a standard browsing capability. One of the reasons I didnt buy my wife a kindle for xmas, was because she could not read the local paper on it. with an iPad she could, though she has to be on the network to do so.
Will this replace the mp3 player? umm no.
Will this replace a laptop or desk top? umm no
Will it replace a kindle? I dont think so.
Will it find its way into my home? It might, but I would never admit it to Grieve!
