ok as a tablet pc that is pretty cool...but as competition for an mp3 player (ipod) no way, that thing is huge!!!!! now if it's marketed as a portable tablet, it would be cool to use say on like a on 4 wheeling trips w/ a gps output for map tracking/ gps functioning. but i'm thinking Steve Jobs isn't worried about it taking over the ipod market.

i love how the bronco II guy stuffs it into his pocket and drags it to his on site photo shoot....that's neat as a gimmicky ad, but in real life use....puhlease. all that shit stays safe and clean in the car. LOL funny they dont show him dropping his 2K (?) tablet on the ground like i would be doing.... :nod:

I thought it was the kid in the train station playing Halo 2. I liked it, because it didn't have that many buttons to be playing it.

And then, all of a sudden, people need mapping software on the road. They just got in the car, drove, and didn't even plan on where they were going.

It's basically a laptop without a keyboard. I noticed it didn't show anybody typing their email, or doing homework. Try writing a 2 page report by pushing the "keys" one at a time with the pencil.
