If it has WIFI, I can see this as the perfect living room coffee table computer. Always there, fast boot up, no freakin wires to deal with, no digging it out. Just pick it up, tap the on button, and surf without a hot heavy laptop.

I'm the guy that said I would never buy another Apple device, but if this is like an iPhone OS in a bigger package, minus that god damed 3g contract I might have to change my mind.

A control screen to regulate ac, fill my bath tub, streaming av server, turn sprinklers on. Feed pets, clean pool, make up my bed? The protype iHome? Yeah would be cool but ain't happening.

I dont see a use for this device.

Of course, too early to tell what this thing is since every analyst report is just a speculation or even misdirection by Apple to mislead all the other companies. Will just have to wait and see.

If it's anything like the product I linked to, then it will be awesome. But then again, I'd rather buy that open source tablet and hackint0sh it myself for $300.

Dude it's basically going to be a full blown OS right?

So i could very well see there being a DOCK that you can drop this thing right into and boom, youve got a keyboard, Mouse etc etc ready to go.

When you want to pull it out and just take it with you, good to go, now youve got a mobile touch tablet.

Now this is a product to get excited about: http://www.atelier-us.com/consumers-and-ecommerce/article/demo-2009-touch-netbooktablet-pc-revealed

see video. It's quite phenomenal and open source, $300! No way would Apple sell something for $300. 10-15 hour batter life on that one too.
