    The resistive screen on the 5800 isn't that bad at all. My only real gripe about the phone is that it's too damn small. They should have made it a little wider and a bit longer...

    Linux advocates remind me of bicycles. No, really.


    More than a century ago, when cycling was first becoming popular, a Victorian humorist named Jerome K. Jerome pointed out that you could either ride a bike or "maintain" a bike -- but not both. The bikes of "maintainers" are always in several pieces because they are tightening the spokes, adjusting the chain, replacing the brakes, or something. They never actually get to ride their bikes. If you enjoy riding, he advised, never, ever try to maintain your bike.


    And this is precisely what the Linux advocates don't understand: while they may get great pleasure from the process of assembling, tuning and tweaking the ideal setup, some of us just want to get on and go for a ride.

    @TheCrudMan: "Low-end" specifications for the Mac Pro weigh in at over $2,200. On top of that, you still have a lot of machine that you don't need. I think the kind of form factor many are here wishing for is something along the size of one of the smaller Dell XPS slimline systems, or the like. It would have a full desktop hard drive, proper desktop components and greater expandability than an iMac or Mac Mini, but not be overkill for anyone who just wants a modest workhorse for the desk.

    Right, no matter how many sources confirm, apple's products are over priced and too constricting compared to Linux alternatives.


    True, they have a good product, but I would rather have an Open Source alternative than their junk, no matter how lucrative it looks.


    One of the reasons, I did not buy the iPod or iPhone - both are crap.

    I still say that it will be a Kindle-sized iPod Touch, not a netbook. Great size for browsing the web, and eBook reading.

    "Netbook" as in the Air? "Netbook" as in tablet-pc (iPhone)?


    Sounds like any new Netbook they could come up with would be poaching off of existing products.

    @newgalactic: OMG, Jesus-butt-fucking-christ people...


    iPhone/iPod Touch != Tablet


    Air != Netbook


    A tablet (either slate style or convertible) had a COMPUTER SIZED form factor and a touch screen. 3" is not a computer sized form factor.


    A Netbook is a feature/power light, small form factor laptop that is CHEAP (~$400). I'll admit that the Air is terribly underpowered and lacks many common features found on other laptops but its form factor and price clearly prevent it from being considered a netbook.


    There, consider yourself learn'd.

    @G_Money21: I can see everything except $699. I can't see this sort of product from them for under $800, and more likely higher than that.



    Which is a shame, because I'd like one without having to sell a car or a kidney to get it. :)

    @G_Money21: So where would Apple be able to save ~$1k (prob ~$600 in actual production costs) by simply reducing the form factor a few inches and giving you less RAM?

    Not sure why Apple would enter the netbook market. There are 2 reasons to get a netbook, One is portability, which I feel the Macbook Air covers. The other is price, which Apple don't ever compete on.

    @Xeno: Agreed, and for those of you that require explanation:


    Ultra-portable = not underpowered, not cheap.

    Netbook = underpowered, cheap.
