So, Dell is about the only post you'll see if you don't subscribe to the iPhone hype.

Looks like you can build a very decent laptop, at a low starting price, but if you add all the options, it's priced similarly to any "name brand" pc. Nice idea, though and they have a decent protection plan.

Damn, I just bought a Q1 Ultra. It's still better suited in some ways for a travel/conversation computer, but this is a full system for half again the weight. Then again, the Q1U has dual webcams, then again, they're awful quality.

Very nice portable Windows device with a 7 hour battery life. The most awkward thing is the screen resolution, since many Windows apps won't work well at 800x480 resolution.

I'm just surprised at the extremely poor quality of most built in webcams compared to Apple. I'm not an Apple fanboy (just sold my Macbook Pro) but it really is rather sad what most manufacturers will stuff into their products. I just bought a Samsung Q1U, which looks great (for what it is), in every way, except the cam quality is horrible. I wonder if it's because Samsung also sells camcorders. In any case, it's a travesty.

Audio jacks on the front.. bad design (if you're using it as a laptop). Wonder what else they didn't think about.

Sean, really? While I think that is what Next may offer, it gets lost in what in MacOS/Apple (well, Steve Jobs) hype.

Not to mention, since most features are commoditized across MS, Apple, Linux (&c), it's more than just functionality, it's licensing, and Apple doesn't want to try to take a stand like Free/Open systems.

'business' often involves collaborative web browsing, document editing, software development.. all these things benefit from a higher res screen. And newer presentation software will look better to.

When are projectors going to move past xga resolution. It's not like we're talking a 10" screen.

Mac OS X, unlike about every other Bluetooth 2.0 supporting OS, doesn't support A2DP (stereo Bluetooth). So it wouldn't be surprising (though it would be disappointing) if the iPhone doesn't either. I guess A2DP is the same as a two button mouse in Apple's mind.

It's not free anymore in Toronto (as people from the city call it), it's $40 a month, and I've yet to see a good signal from it.
