[quote ArtP]Wow, this reminds me of the other place when the iPod was first released.
We ALL said Steve Jobs is CRAZY!
Took 5 years but look at the iPod.
It's a revision 1 Mac with a new form factor and I can't afford one.
Sure it is overpriced and it sucks, but look at the technology and where the road is leading.
But...but, what's new about it? It's thin? You can add an SSD? I don't think we said Steve Jobs was crazy back then (I didn't), but I think many of us thought, "$500 for a glorified walkman? Not in my budget!"
The multi-touch pad is cool, but I'd much rather have a multi-touch screen. That would have made me drool.
I don't think there is too much new about this machine, so I would hesitate to compare it to the iPod.
