It looks awful! Although playing Guild Wars via bootcamp or crossover with a touchscreen sorta sounds good... But more importantly, there's a Russian model of a more realistic MacBook Mini, somewhere in a scanned Russian magazine on the internet. I would totally learn russian for that sweet thing! Ta-da: http://bit.ly/15uK8w Now Guild Wars on a 10 inch tote-to-grandma's-house macbook would be SWEET! If this gets released, I will not buy it. It looks awful!

I have to admit that when Apple releases something new, there is a genuine urge for me to get into my POS car and drive down to Apple and beg them to sell me whatever it is they just released. Perhaps my addiction to all things Apple is the reason I drive a 13 year old pile of feces around. But I have some cool Apple shit in my house. At least when I become a total shut in, I will have tons of Cool Shit to surround myself with. All thanks to Apple. Michael Can I just say, holy shit that looks awesome!

Reading e-books on an i-phone is an eyesore, but I don't want to spend the money for a device that will only let me read e-books, however including the cost for lifetime wireless service to the device in the initial cost is a smart thing. Who really likes contracts? Also, if it has Wacom technology like the i-Rex readers, then I'd be even more willing to give them my money happily.

They did the exact same thing with previous projects: tell everyone it's a horrible market (to reduce competition), and then blow the market away with their perfection. As for the touchscreen, I think they'll take the route of the kindle, rather than the iphone route. Or maybe they've figured out a way for a keyboard to swivel to be either horizontal to the pad (think acer One) for heavy typing and vertical for reading formats (think kindle).

I'd think of it that way. Phones and mp3 players are so much smaller and easier to let slip out of our hands. I'd keep it in a sleeve whenever I wasn't using it as well. Do you ever drop your laptop?

Just that picture makes me want a screen protector. I hope it’s just a swivel top with touch access in it’s tablet form.

So it's just like a typical netbook, but it has a touch screen. then it swivels around on top of the keyboard you can touch, draw, type and so on.
