The Big Event
« on: January 27, 2010, 04:55:11 PM »
Woo hooo, this is exciting, can you believe the media surrounding Steve Jobs talk?  This is far more exciting than that guy from Hawaii who's talking tonight in Washington...

Yes, you can install anything you write on a limited number of devices, you just need the device id which you can get through iTunes.

Especially when it's twice as powerful and half the price of a SAM.....

@outlawal2

You are right, this could have been Amiga (or AmigaOne or whatever), but it isn't, Amiga is hampered by the lack of software and the lack of a polished OS.  The people who should be kicking themselves today are the folks in Redmond, they've had tablets forever they've had the financial resources and the manpower and all they've come out with is the pathetic Windows CE.  Apple really understands how to make a usable device for the masses.

Even after yesterday I heard an American radio station discussing how Apple can sell this to Walmart shoppers, this isn't a device for Walmart shoppers, it's a device for the educated middle class, who will line up up long queues at the Apple store to buy this.

60 Days, that's about as long as a legitimate company can go between announcement and delivery...

When is Apple releasing their new iHype machine?  (OK, maybe they have.)

I said legitimate company, one that is real and doesn't squander publicity on products that don't quite exist....

If that is true...   Then where the HELL is the X1000?

I really doubt the X1000 could be used in supermarkets.  But I concur the X1000 does look pretty useless, especially with almost no apps....

I think they could be useful for specialized apps, touchscreen control panels and things.  I wouldn't mind having to use one at the self-checkout lane at the supermarket to process my payment info.  Probably cheaper than real point of sale equipment too.  Seems kind of useless for anything else though.
