many people were, like a person at the BTTF: Hill Valley forum. But I guess they decided to change the name, like Nintendo and the Dolphin (Gamecube).
DaggerLite:
I wouldn't be caught dead with this thing. =/
I assume I'll be seeing the whole fad once again. And for an extra bit of negativity, why not?

Btw... the real thing sort of looks like an oversized domino.
mgz:
worthless device IMO.
They should have just come out with a reader.
I personally would loathe have a nice shiny 10" screen. Thats one of the big flaws with things like this SHINY SCREENS SUCK BALLS. I mean aside from the obvious limitations and overpricing for it being an apple touch screen with severely limited functionality
DaggerLite:
It's not so much that it will necessarily be a bad device, on the contrary it will probably be a decent thing that people will gladly pay too much money for.
The negativity comes from the possible fact that this thing will be overmarketed, be renowned as an artistic marvel and do the same things other devices already do and have done, yet every developer and fool will flock to this thing. Developers because they will obviously earn money and fools because they think they need it, or simply because it is a popular toy. I can't think that more than a handful of people will actually need this thing.
The article I posted above may be slightly satirical, but I won't say it's an unthinkable scenario. Personally, I'll settle for my laptop.
