IDK, I don't see a purpose for people who already have an iphone and a laptop. It's neither. I don't want to have to carry all three around. It looks cool, with a fun interface, but basically is a huge iphone/ipod touch without the phone.

If all my mods were done to my Z and I had a lot of extra cash laying around, I might buy one just for couch surfing the net, otherwise I say make the iphone screen a 1/2 bigger give it G4 and a faster processor and call it a day.

See, I think the iPad could replace your laptop almost for daily use. Maybe with apps and jailbreaking it will, but for me on a daily basis I just use my netbook. Do not need a lot of power, mostly battery life and basic web connections.

I think they didn't run the OS X software because it may be too slow meet Steve-o's expectations - so they put the iPhone software on it, as it runs on slower machines. As thin as that sucker is, I'm thinking they didn't even include flash because it also is a resource hog. When you think of how little the battery is in that thing - and compare running the processor at full tilt watching flash in OS X, your iPad would last an hour. That would explain no multi-tasking as well. Good luck listening to music while you reply to emails, lol. Who the hell listens to music and stares at teh album art. Steve-o you're ridiculous.

Saw this pic and though it would be appropriate for this thread.

Good discussion. Keep 'em coming.

Those are not the 100% best, but you can find netbooks with HD screens, 10 hour battery life, quick CPU/GPU (note: for the size, you will not run photoshop on this), plus plenty of HDD space and memory. How do I know this, because I have been using one for almost a year now.

This is mine:
11" screen
2GB of memory
100GB hard drive
1.3 or 1.6Ghz CPU
720P display
Runs Windows XP, Vista, or 7 (I have also tested Ubuntu & OS X)
10 hours of battery life (Really more like 9)
Weights 2.25-2.5 pounds

That's pretty sweet. I'm still torn between a 14.1" lcd laptop vs. a netbook. But I'm leaning more toward the laptop since netbooks are way too small for my taste. Also, is there Netbooks with more powerful processors (other than atom)?

Luv'n my Z · 01-31-2010, 08:12 PM

Ak why not get a MacBook pro 8 hrs of battery 15 inch screen nice processor and most importantly OS X 10.6 a little on the expensive side though

Not currently, but ION (by Nvidia) might give some beef to the netbook market. Only problem is it mostly focused on graphical power, but Nvidia says ION will be faster CPU.
I would go with a 14" laptop, or maybe a 13" laptop if you do not need the GPU power but more the CPU power.

This guy blends everything!

I remember when iphone first came out, he was one of the first to blend it.

disclaimer: have not read this thread

But if this hasn't been posted already, I find it pretty amazing. Could be a publicity stunt I suppose, but most of me wants it to be legit.

MAD TV was ahead of its time, this video is from a MAD TV segment a few years before the iPad was officially launched.
