I don't trust that price to stay that low for the year. -- nm - Max Jan 27, 11:51
It's going to do well, personally I'll wait for 2nd or 3rd generation when there is a camera and kinks worked out, -- nm - GWAA Jan 27, 11:45
I don't think so, but I also don't think it's the breakthrough people want. It's a good 1st step towards that though. -- nm - Soap McRemlik Jan 27, 11:45 2
- I wonder what breakthrough people wanted. -- nm - loosilu Jan 27, 11:45 1
  - Hookerbots that transform into jetpacks. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 27, 11:56
Why do you hate America, nubby? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 27, 11:43
I'm underwhelmed. -- nm - loosilu Jan 27, 11:42
Comic could save it. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 27, 11:42 3
- I think you overestimate the value of comics in the general populace -- nm - oblique Jan 27, 11:43 2

how could something that will CHANGE THE WORLD FOREVER be a major flop???....nm - x Jan 27, 11:40 3
- and how could this device really save the people of Haiti. -- nm - CQ Jan 27, 11:42 2
  - this is how!! -- (link) - decline Jan 27, 11:43
  - Well, at 9.7 inches it IS bigger and has better structural integrity than most Haitians houses. -- nm - Ender Jan 27, 11:43
When they showed it, I dubbed it the iFail instantly.....but I gotta say, I'm impressed as hell with the price. -- nm - scorpion Jan 27, 11:40 6
- I wonder if the 3G versions will be the flop but the WiFi at the $499 pricepoint be the true success -- nm - oblique Jan 27, 11:42 5
  - Am I to understand that a the base model is basically a larger iPod Touch, but $250 more expensive? - musubi Jan 27, 11:44 4
    - you get 6 more inches!! -- nm - decline Jan 27, 11:46 1
      - Enough about Greg Oden already, jeez. (nm) - musubi Jan 27, 11:49
    - Well, also faster processer and higher screen quality. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 27, 11:45
    - Essentially...yes -- nm - oblique Jan 27, 11:45

I don't know, there are enough Apple cultists who'll plop down $500 for anything Apple that it probably can't be a true flop. -- nm - Ender Jan 27, 11:40 3
- I for one am grateful for the Apple cultists, because they'll pay premium prices that subsidise me when I get around to buying it -- nm - Roger More Jan 27, 11:53
- yeah, sadly, this is pretty true. And the "no contract" thing is a big win. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 11:43
- The company has certainly had flops before, though they've been on a roll lately. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 27, 11:43
i've never had an iPhone or an iPod but i'm already doing the math in my head about when to get one of these -- nm - tik tok Jan 27, 11:39
AppleTV 2: Electric Boogaloo -- nm - oblique Jan 27, 11:39
Depends. Which board are we on right now? -- nm - TFox Jan 27, 11:39 1
- (I think B3 agreed with you, B2 disagreed, and B1 is on the fence.) -- nm - TFox Jan 27, 11:39
