ebooks are good for things that are only available in shitty mass-market paperback versions, and if you fly a lot.

Nah, not true Milo -- the point about college textbooks is spot on.

give me multitasking or give me death

Oh, I'm sure, I'm just pointing out two areas where I find my old Kindle useful.

iWork Touch interface looks a hundred times better than iWork OS X interface.

i think milo's point was "ebooks are good for ... among other things" not "ebooks are only good for ..."

also, guys, i am getting a little excited about the prospect of this in a hospital/clinical setting. not that we'll see a usable/apple-y EMR anytime in the near future, but holy shit if you could tote this around instead of keeping track of a bazillion different patient charts AND use it to pull up references as needed....

eBooks are great -- and I am a college student so I know how useful this has the potential to be... but I just don't see the point of a computer you can draw on that doesn't have stuff like video editing and animation applications.

OK like I said on the iPhone app thread, ComicBookLover may just be my killer app for this

― Elvis Telecom, Wednesday, 27 January 2010 19:08 (sixteen years ago)

hate that weird wood effect tho

. but I just don't see the point of a computer you can draw on that doesn't have stuff like video editing and animation applications.
for you, or for everyone? I don't know how many people are makin animations every day, but everybody uses the web

― stet, Wednesday, 27 January 2010 19:08 (sixteen years ago)

As someone who basically reads medical records for a living, I would love to see this (or something like it) widely used in a clinical setting.

My Kindle is one of the first run, inherited from moms. It still works okay.

― smashing aspirant (milo z), Wednesday, 27 January 2010 19:10 (sixteen years ago)

Can Apple just FINALLY absorb FileMaker/Bento back into the mothership? I'm annoyed at how backwards the default FM/B interfaces are compared with this.

― Elvis Telecom, Wednesday, 27 January 2010 19:10 (sixteen years ago)

will this run apps simultaneously?

I'd actually prefer one that didn't have 3G. Kinda wish it was more like a iPod Touch

― Elvis Telecom, Wednesday, 27 January 2010 19:17 (sixteen years ago)
