The Big Event

Hilarious!


I confess that I am getting caught up in the hyped excitement... although the rumors circulating that thing thing is essentially just a huge iPhone make me less interested. It's an OSX machine that I'm interested in!

Yawn. It's a giant iPhone.

... without the Phone...

I had been expecting an OS X tablet, this thingy is too limited in software and hardware, hate the closed approach of the iPhone.

Yep. They would have had a sale right here if it ran OSX. I would have ordered it today. If some nifty programs appear I might reconsider, but I think I'll get myself a Mac Mini instead.

You know the Iphone has Remot access app to access OSX and Windows PC and despiste some quirks it supposedlt works well. Now this tablet is starting to look appealing.

In my work, if I can edit video remotely, or use Zbrush or Painter/ Photoshop without LAG then we shall see. Interesting. If this works well and they tout this ability they'll have a home run.

I've never used remote desktop apps so I don't know the quirks involved.

$500 is just a little too much for a dumb terminal - and I'd still need a Mac to begin with, so it's more than double the price.

I think I see a market for this thing, but it's not me.
