Jason Chen: Steve Jobs is on stage, and he looks about the same as we last saw him (kinda skinny, but not unhealthily skinny).

do you have to ~sync~ this thing??? is it not a stand alone device? can i watch/listen to booted media on it? can i actually do non-consumptive tasks with it?

I think this thing will be more fun to play with than to look at or see demo'd. And sure enough, Steve says: "Watching it is nothing like getting it in your hands."
Rather than completely new capabilities, this is going to be a more pleasurable way of doing stuff we already do. Maybe people are going to invent some far-out shit that only multi-touch tablets can do, but it doesn't look like Apple is banking on that.
