@Mr_Biggles: Windows 7 was my idea: Not arguing... admittedly not as stupid as the current administration, but definitely pretty bad. I was just saying Bush jokes are pretty dated/lame. #ipod
I was wondering too why it's magnetized. Turns out it's more like a flat clip than a bookmark, it clamps on a page, visible on both sides. Why this is more useful than an ordinary bookmark escapes me. #ipod
So all of the whispers about Apple getting into books and readers led to this? Wow. That's a let-down. But you do have to admit, no one saw it coming. No leaked photos, no slips from Uncle Walt. Giz doesn't even have a hands-on. This is truly a surprise. Where do I line up? #ipod
This is truly amazing.
Forget exaggerating about their overpriced computers and closed development phone.
Lets open our glowing eyes to a magnet!
Yes! a magnet!
It's got an Apple logo on it so lets bow down! #ipod
Magnetized? Are you sure? That would be bad for all hard drives wouldn't it? I hope they keep people from trying it on the Mac hardware before they leave. Do magnets stick to aluminum? I just don't know.
The bookmark part of the story is more interesting as it relates to the impending Apple "slate". [news.cnet.com]
I wonder if Apple is preparing to enter the book market.
I had The Sads when I found out that it wasn't a white chocolate candy bar coated with a metallic neon cyan coating of iPod candy goodness.
Then I realized it'd be such a superb confection that candy from then on would be a wispy, pale imitation of an Apple candy bar, cursing my sugar jonzing life to one of sad regret.
So Thanks, Steve, for not ruining my cocoa fat hunting dreams!
(maybe we need someone to try eating the magnetic bookmark to make SURE it's not a candy bar?) #ipod
@aek8: i just looked to see what the eff it was talking about... the tips are magnetic and you can use that to hold the pages in place.... or something #ipod
