I love Apple, and would probably be drooling over this thing if it were shiny, white and presented by Lord Jobs. As it stands, it's just another dirty PC thing I don't want to waste my money on, when I could be buying Slurpees and Moon Pies. (Last try for last line.)

That's the danger with "never." It is such a long time and in all the years that make up "never," there is so much time to be proven wrong. As we all have been.

Sure a laptop is slightly larger than this thing but at least I can have a normal screen resolution and keyboard as well as a cd/dvd rom drive. I have a feeling this will be as successful as the whole ESPN Cell Phone deal a while back. If it doesn’t fit in my pocket then it has no real advantages over a traditional laptop.

Not really practical but he does some video editing on it. Kinda cool... but not my bag. I'd rather it be implanted in my body so I don't have any baggage to carry around. Kidding... sort of.

It's too expensive for the casual user, to big to take with you everywhere you go, and too small to do any real work on. Most users are better served by a smart phone and/or a laptop.
