Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm going to get one. For sure. I'm not sure if I'll get it now, or wait a few months. I absolutely love what they've shown and it looks like it could be more functional than the MacBook Air I have from work.

If they stick to the timeline the 3G model will be out just after my birthday. I'll be buying the 64 GB 3G model, that's certain. I won't have to travel with my laptop nearly as often.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I can't imagine where and I why I would use this, instead of a laptop.

If I did a ton of business travel, I would buy one in a heartbeat (except I'd wait for the 2nd gen because Apple products are never quite right the first time out). But I can't see myself using it at home, and a netbook is still a LOT cheaper.

But with business travel, you need a keyboard, and word processing. And the iPad doesn't multitask.
