Well the launch is 2 months off and a lot can change in that time. I do like all the apple bashing though it's quite funny. Just because the sony netbook sized laptops used to be £2k plus never stopped me wanting one. After using an iphone since the launch of the 2g I think I could definitely find a use for this. I could leave my Laptop for proper work and configure it as such and then have this for pootling on the web down stairs on the couch. I was pondering a tv for the bedroom as I quite often watch iplayer on the iphone in bed on cold hungover mornings and this would improve that no end. (Yes I know I could go hunt my laptop and wait 5 minutes for it to boot and then go hunt the charger etc..). Going to be plenty more 'meaty' apps for this come launch and a lot more productivity stuff. I can see me doing tech calls with this and wandering round like I'm in Star Trek ;-).
