Similar OS, really fast chipset... I wouldn't say they made a big iPhone so much as they made a macbook run iPhone OS (and got rid of the keyboard)---
They haven't announced pricing yet, but rumors put it in the range of an unsubsidized iPhone (700 dollars).
So far, it's a cool device, but unless Jobs comes back with one of those "Oh, and ONE MORE THING" killer app things, I think I can pass on it... _________________ The end is nigh! OR forums die APRIL 1. Don't lose contact! Join the forums at bogsource.com now! |

499.00
You can opt for prepaid 3g for 14.99 a month for 250g or unlimited for 29.99
Prepaid... so it's non-contract, through ATT _________________ The end is nigh! OR forums die APRIL 1. Don't lose contact! Join the forums at bogsource.com now! |

One of the accessories is a keyboard dock... This is what I wanted to see... this arguably becomes a desktop replacement for people who can live on apps and cloud apps. _________________ The end is nigh! OR forums die APRIL 1. Don't lose contact! Join the forums at bogsource.com now! |

I'm feeling like if you already have 3g on your phone, you're not going to go out of your way to get it for this device as well. I mean, I'm assuming it'll connect to wifi too. _________________ The end is nigh! OR forums die APRIL 1. Don't lose contact! Join the forums at bogsource.com now! |

All of them are wifi... Wifi are the "base" model at each price point (3 price points) and with 3g they are marginally more
If I got one, it would be wifi only... I would use my phone out and about before using that thing... I would use my phone while walking... I'm going to sit down somewhere with wifi to use the tablet...
500 bucks is pretty good though... _________________ The end is nigh! OR forums die APRIL 1. Don't lose contact! Join the forums at bogsource.com now! |

Meh. I'd be interested if it came with a stylus for drawing in an art program and included some apps like garage band from the start. _________________ The end is nigh! OR forums die APRIL 1. Don't lose contact! Join the forums at bogsource.com now! |

There is a new art program called brushes that you could use... I have never used garage band, so I don't really know what to say about that
I wanted it to be able to be controlled via apple remote or an iphone... so that you could connect it to a tv for streaming stuff _________________ The end is nigh! OR forums die APRIL 1. Don't lose contact! Join the forums at bogsource.com now! |
