If they have a smaller one for women, will it be called the iMiniPad?

 

[WelshBloke]

I'm not seeing anything there that wouldn't work better on a laptop.

[silverpig]

Their own silicon... hmm.

 

[herkulease]

16gb to 64 gb.

 

[effowe]

Wow 10 hours battery life watching a movie and a month of standby.

 

[speg]

Ah no, not demo time. I hope it's short this time.

 

[herkulease]

blah back to dragging it out. before a price.

 

[silverpig]

Battery life seems nice, but no camera? It'd have been an awesome video chat device.

Wow 10 hrs battery life watching a movie, that is very impressive.

Their own silicon... hmm.

thats been the best announcement so far

 

[jalaram]

Instead of pixel doubling, how about running 4 apps at a time?

 

[Phobic9]

Honestly, no one can be surprised it's nothing more than a supersized iPhone. I'm saving judgment until this thing is over but color me unimpressed with the iPad(lol).

Edit: Actually put WebOS on this thing then it would be that much better already. Wishful thinking I know.

 

[hellod9]

The combination of weight/size/battery life is very impressive.

 

[jpeyton]

thats been the best announcement so far

"own architecture" = "rebadged ARM Cortex"

 

[speg]

Yeah, what's pricing... if this is it, no way it can be 1K.

 

[James Bond]

i predict 699

 

[WelshBloke]

Whats the screen res on it?

 

[speg]

Three different capacities? 599, 699, 799?

 

[BigToque]

This thing is totally useless. If they had included a camera/mic and had had added actual TABLET support (you know with a pen and some note taking software) it might have been sweet.

That's about normal compared to tablet PCs around the same size (mainly Tegra 2 powered), IIRC.

Gonna have to agree. I actually held off buying a new laptop because of this device announcement but having seen it...meh.
