Your thoughts on the "latest" Apple product

[muskrat]

for me it is like this:
I went by the store and came away with less than favorable impressions.  No USB, can't use as hard drive unless unlocked, only content from Itunes, 3G through ATT which sucks the life out of my Iphone - can only imagine the Ipad, expensive as hell for a 64g version and a host of other little items.  Frankly for my money the Ibook is TONS better and only $100 or so dollars off.  This to me is an over inflated Ipod, which I expected, but at an unreasonable cost and locked to ATT whose 3g network simply sucks. 

I'm fine with my Imac but the rest of their toys will need to be for others....at least until the price and features is reasonable.

cheaper than the stuff you buy at car toys right?

I have no thoughts... what new Apple product? Ahhhh, life can be so simple if you let it.

Parry Gripp had it pegged. iPad is just another flavor of personal electronics nachos: the concept is appealing, yet essentially worthless dreck.

I heard it through the g-vine that the svoloch couldn't bear to be one-upped by a co-worker so he had to go get one at lunch today.

If you just have to have it on the go then Apple is a little behind the times (as usual  )

Dell Inspiron Mini 10 Netbook

I just picked one of these up and converted it to a hackintosh for less than $225. (http://gizmodo.com/5389166/how-to-hackintosh-a-dell-mini-10v-into-the-ultimate-snow-leopard-netbook) I love OSX, but don't like the price or Apples locked-down approach to all of their products.
