Too heavy to use standing?

Or showing the best way to use it?

I don't use a laptop standing up, either. Unless it's on a table.

So I'm going to guess this thing is going to cost about $800 or more.

Even if i were an Apple cult member, the cheapest Macbook is $999 and is far more practical IMO.

And don't get me started on Netbooks for half the price.

I thought the same thing, but when you can get a 15" digital frame these days for $180, what's the point of that then.

But this is in between a laptop and an iPhone. so you should be able to do both.

this is a cool device but hasn't sold me on replacing a laptop. I thought Apple was about combining your gadgets into one gadget. this new category while this would be the best product in that category it isn't necessary.

Maybe in a case with a handle, but not with their slick backs. Shit, I don't like holding my iPhone without a grippy back.

Wouldn't be so sure. If you start talking near $1K to get one of these things? Plus a data plan?

Has anything been said about wireless (cellular) support?
