Consumer market - meh......too fucking pricey pointless and redundant. Only a primadonna tinkerbell like homeslice would rave about this.

Education market - Here kids. We iz gonna tell ur districts they need to divert all that dough they've been spending on useless PC's and laptops every year and buy this.
Ease of use - You little fuckers already spent your parents money on iPods and iPhones

did we mention that you can use it as an e-reader and that we've worked out deals with publishers, Verizon and ATT so that any books whether textbook or porno mag...will be streamed to your itablet whnever whereever you meed it. Schools could abandoned real books and simply subscribe to publishers. School gits access to ebooks and students show up with there little iTablets and download the semester to em.

Did we mention there is fricken camera. this way you little brats can do virtual classrooms.

All for the low low price of $1000. (Unless you get it with a Verizon or ATT contract...then it $800)


thats my theoretical blabbery of the moment

Theoretical maybe, but probably close to actuality.

Very.

This summer, I couldn't tell ya how many macs I sold to 5th grader's parents. The elementary school that was part of the university said everyone in 5th grade or above needs to have a laptop to take to class with them, preferably a mac. Of course, these parents were paying twice my tuition for their kids elementary education per year. Some of them with 3+ kids going there.
