Crap-tastic? I suppose you'd like 3 or 4 machines to do what this one does in one machine - with both Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity? It makes the Kindle and other one trick ponies look like stone tablets.

Something that's bothering me is that they're obviously showing two different units: one looks almost square, the other looks 16x9 ...

To me seems a 100 to much across the board - maybe if it was a phone / camera that would be something great for enterprises can do video confercing

What I mean is, I really don't see much professional use for it. Basically it's like a 10" iPod Touch. Sure, it's lighter than a laptop, but this gadget is a toy nonetheless.

Perhaps it's shown in landscape and portrait that makes it look different?

Give it to the next generation for the camera. But I agree...come on, they should have put an iSight in there!

What gave you the idea that this was a professional/business productivity machine? It's a consumer device with multiple capabilities at a great price point. Personally, I don't need an iPhone - a Touch would have been nice, but this thing does so much more. I can turn my attention from a MacBook to this.

I'm leaning towards agreeing with you....a giant iPod.

I would look at this seriously, but I would rather spend a little more and get a laptop where I can actually use it to work with.

I was thinking that, too -- and maybe some of the angles of the shots are kind of funky, too. It just seemed odd at times =)
