So that's what the 'i' stands for.

God I WISH I had an imaginary girlfriend, or even a real girlfriend. Noooo, I gotta have a decidedly non-imaginary wife.

Actually my iPhone does a pretty good job of being an imaginary girlfriend or five.

I'm glad Apple finally got around to inventing the Tablet PC.

FTFA: "Why would Apple, a company famous for its pared down, easy-to-understand product lineup, introduce two models of a new device not only almost exactly the same size, but with confusing differences in screen technology?"

OOO...OOOO!!! I know, I know!!!! They're repeating history!!!

Remember the PowerBook 520/520c and 540/540c? (Probably not). The 520 had passive matrix LCD and the 540 had active matrix LCD. The 540c was discontinued because it was TOO POPULAR and Apple couldn't meet the demand.

I love their products, but waste no love on the company.

1/10 Subby

deebee230: 1/10 Subby

I know right. I GF is totally real. She lives in Canada.

It's not that their girlfriends are imaginary subby, they're just waiting for Jobs to release the "iGirlfriend 3Gs".

I'm a PC and I laughed subby. Mac users are smarmy, cellar dwelling buyers of carbon offsets and arugula.

I don't get it - Apple users are gay, so why would they imagine girlfriends for themsel....OOOOOH, you're talking about the lesbians.

Carry on.

You mean imaginary boyfriends, Subby. Mac users want boys. Any girlfriends they mention are "from Canada".

Walked by our state's first Microsoft store the other day to see that it is an EXACT copy of the Apple store. Does this make PCs wannabe poser douchebags?

I'm certain the image is a photshop construct, but if you have any doubt, look at the reflection from the ear buds. Alternates between white and black reflection, with little regard to why.

/pixels, etc.
//still, would be neat at that size

Would you like to make an appointment at our "Savant Bar"?

What the hell are you talking about. Im looking at the reflection and i see exactly what i would expect to see. you do know that the speaker isnt white right?

How many Microsoft computers were they selling?

Hate Apple all you want. They're making money, that's the bottom line.

/would be interested in an Apple tablet

Meh, complain all you like. The iPhone was a rumor for years before it was released, but after it was released it was welcomed with open arms.

Clearly it makes good sense to develop the hell out of a product before letting it hit the market.

Apple clearly learned from the Newton and the Pippin.

I bought an original Storm when it came out based on RIMs reputation, that thing was such a piece of shiat I haven't bought another BBerry since.

Holy Jeebus that is pathetic. They out-dorked the Apple Store.

Pro tip: Get the girl first, then the Apple and iPhone. That is what I did.

Weaps:

In that it's ok to play around with, but way too expensive for what it is and always interrupting when you're trying to do something?

Way to not preview...I meant the *wires* to the speaker buds...the wires are white, but the reflections start off white, go to black, and go back to white again, several times in several different places, makes no sense

iWTF?

I don't see what your talking about, but the geometry of the reflection of the earbud wires is wrong. Compare the reflective geometry between the wires close and the reflective geometry of the wires on the far side of the tablet.

I can't how they would think OLEDs would come down in price anytime soon

True story, my imaginary girlfriend left me for a SWAT sharpshooter.

misery faded: Don't forget Subby's inconsistent capitalization of "Apple."

After I get my career going in Mixed Martial Arts, I'll get an even hotter girlfriend from Canada

No Apple iProduct image yet? Come on guys.

The white FireWire port is for loading and unloading only?

Thanks for sharing that gem. While the Apple Store emos are practicing their smug, the Microsoft Store dorks are practicing their line dancing. Comparatively speaking, Radio Shack does it right: their employees simply pretend you don't exist.

Save the faux-wonder and excitement. The third-party Modbook tablet has been out for years, and it sucks.

For anyone claiming they can't wait to buy this, go ahead. It's already available, and has been for awhile. Modbook. The company that releases them matches the Apple warranty. I'm gonna bet no one buys it until Sir Jobs himself shiats one out for the masses.

You know, with all the TV ads, I thought there wouldn't be money in the budget to buy anti-Apple threads online anymore. Boy, was I wrong.

Can OLED replace eINK screens for reading books, or do OLED screens have the same issues with flicker that LCD screens do?

/Buying an eReader next year, if OLED display is easy on the eyes like eINK screens will go that route instead.

Tourney3p0: My only beefs looking at the Modbook are the weight and lack of accommodation for a folding screen protector that would have amounted to all of $5 of plastic. What sucks about it?

Oh, and lack of a stand. That dumbness plagues tablets.

Aw, AWESOME, its... a bigger iPhone? An iPod XL? For 12 to 15 hundred dollars?!?

Really, it looks like a touch screen netbook (that costs redic more) in terms of being small and portable but running a big boy OS, but by the time I've passed what my smart phone can handle I generally need things like a keyboard, and it looks like they've continued my biggest gripe about the iPhone. I DON'T WANT TO TYPE ON THE SCREEN DAMNIT.

Also, those earphones look stupid short.

Holy mother of god. Just stop, Microsoft, really. It's like they take the overwrought lameness of Apple Stores and find a way to magnify it by a thousand in their version.

The shoplifter is priceless though.
