New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

To me the tradeoff on all this is pretty straightforward -- one reason why I like the iPhone a LOT is precisely because it is a phone, scaled as such -- something you just put in your pocket. In contrast I have never really felt any desire to haul something like a laptop around wherever I go.

what if you wore it around your neck on a chain

This thing isn't for computing and it isn't for mobile internet.

it's for farting around in your underwear

It's for making videophonecalls from your bed like the My Two Dad's dude in Aliens.

Cold Paddin' with S1ock

I kind of agree with slocki but then I think what if I'm browsing ilx at home and someone posts a sendspace? seems a bit silly to have to grab my laptop and so in which case why aren't I just browsing on it in the first place

what about those crazy harmony remote controls? I could see some dude with a $1000 remote control doing the math, though what kind of dude who can spend $1k on a remote control cares about saving $?

i think what you're supposed to do in that situation is just start crying uncontrollably

i am already crying

If it's a Kaoss pad, robust field photo editor, etc that also just happens to play music and surfs the web anywhere, then fuck yeah that's cheap as hell.

Yeah, the presentation for this was actually kinda stodgy outside of the Brushes demo. Mail, web surfing, BFD.

Old-school Apple nerds getting older...

I presume you'll be able to control games on this using the iphone/touch?

has there been any chat abt multitasking coming to iphone in 4.0 btw?

Pornography
It's simple: You can hold something that weighs 1.5 pounds in one hand.

you want them to wheel out john mayer with kid606 playing 6 ipads simultaneously?

to me this just looks like a cool fun thing to keep around the house or throw in my bag - not a replacement for my computer but a sort of sci-fi-style all-purpose entertainment/media/fuckin' around device. and i think there will be some really cool apps for it. not that different than a big ipod touch, no, but ipod touches and iphones have so much potential that is severely limited only by their screen space.

probably a lot of games will change

A great consumer device, but the marketing is lacking as iWork for iPad doesn't really make it a laptop alternative.

I think they really needed to have more apps in development that they could soft announce, like Photoshop (lite) for iPad, etc.

That said, if Serato works out a way to run on this, I'll get it.

I already happily read books on my iPhone...

For now I'll enjoy my iPad mini.

i've got eucalyptus ON IPHONE and like it fine, but really it's just too small.

t/s: Min-iPad vs. Max-iPad

Apple (or someone) need to make something like a VR headset, except where you can see through the screens at what's outside. Then you can overlay your web pages/pr0n/3D music interface over whatever real world stuff you're doing.

lol

First person to get a 3G iPad, set their Skype ringtone to Nokia tune, and shout "Yeah, on the iPhone. No, It's Rubbish" gets a pint from me

watching the apple promo on this, it makes the web surfing on this look pulse quickeningly good

I am so buying this the day it comes out.

I would hope you can have more icons in the dock at the bottom.

did not know about this

WTF is up with that bezel? Ugliest piece Apple has produced in ... erm ... a long time.

Both the Contacts and Maps apps look terrific. iPod and Photos very WTF.

One more thing: iPhone SDK 3.2 download? Am I blind? Where is the download link?

bezel isnt great looking but its practical. feels like the kind of thing that will get suddenly smaller and be one of those big deal v2 things.

you have to be a registered developer, etaeoe ($99).

keynote stream's up

cozen: that mode is fkn awesome; i've been using it for months

it's probably going to take about 10 minutes for somebody to hack this and load a full featured snow leopard install

I think I would look pretty psychotic using this in a balaklava, that's for sure

probably wont be u to hack it, if u cant handle bbcode

it's probably x86 based?

I can also foresee about a bajillion of these getting cracked screens from being toted around in college bookbags
