I'd agree with everything but the price... Munster thinks the iSlate is going to be only $100 - $300 more than the iPhone? (Retail cost is $399 unsubsidized).
This is Apple. This thing is going to START @ $699 for the crippled version, and the normal one (With decent storage) will probably cost $799-$899

Well lets be hopeful they have learned something with this past sistuation of sticking to one company if they are going to have 3G intergrated on it. That would be NOT to have it on AT&T's network.

Yeah! Another ridiculously priced and incredibly desirable product for Apple! When and where can I get in line to buy one?

I think they do it so idiots like you can whine about other people having an opinion. Nice post though apple fan boy, you've probably already got your pre-order in. I apologize if I insulted the corporation that has been raping you. Monetarily of course.
If your fish seems sick, put it back in the water.

I don't think I needed to prove to anyone your an apple fan boy, it was right there in your post. Maybe you should post your opinion about the article instead of making insulting comments. Maybe then YOU could prove you have a point. :)
If you disagree with me, and like their products great, to each his own, post about that. We don't need to make it personal.

Now now, just because he doesn't share your love for Apple, there is no reason to post personal messages with no regards to the article.
BACK ON TOPIC PLEASE.

No, you can get software for an iPhone...this will be running MacOS.
This is just downright pathetic...a 7"-10" tablet and people are excited? HP was making 15" tablets years ago...you can get a tablet from just about any company (other than Apple). With the screen size, it would seem that it is little more than a netbook without the keyboard, for twice the price. If apple wants to compete in the netbook market, why don't they make a netbook??? If they want to compete in the tablet market, why don't they make a tablet? Why would they make something that offers neither the performance and versitility of a tablet nor the portability of a netbook? All well...who cares, they could make Manure-based air fresheners and apple fans would buy them...there would even be people who would "Jail Break" their air fresheners to smell like something else...and I am sure AT&T would be happy to sell them with a 2-year contract.

So does the iPhone. Technically it's called iPhone OS, but it's basically just an ultraportable version of OS X.

When life hands you lemons, squirt the juice in your enemies' eyes.

Not if you like lemon juice...that'd be a waste.

iPhoneOS is about as close to Snow Leapord as Windows Mobile is to Windows 7.
