On an evening where the embargo on talking about the iPad was lifted (and a great spewing sound was heard throughout the series of tubes), we have thus been inundated with reviews and screenshots and semi-childish squealing, I find myself waiting with quiet anticipation. They’re selling this thing on Saturday, perhaps you’ve heard?

So what’s the main difference from say my macbook or any computer? Does it have less storage capacity? B/c for $500 this seems like a steal, but then I’m wondering if I’m missing something. Thought we’d ask the guru.
And Gillian says: she earned a digital camera from selling 500 boxes of Girl Scout cookies, so you should come soon so she can show you.

We’d love to visit and show you both the fancy new device (uh, still out on the UPS truck at the moment.) I think this is a GREAT machine for folks to use to check facebook, watch movies, Tweet, look at pictures, even do some writing (although not sure how the keyboard feels…but for $69 you can by a bluetooth keyboard that feels as good as any Mac’s.)
I think it’s the device for people who really don’t want to mess with computers. Not sure it’s the device for dissertation-writers.
Wow, 500 boxes, congratulations!!
