"Its better than Atoms in every way except for power consumption and heat. "

... you do realize that for a portable system power consumption and heat are two of the more important specs... right? With an Atom you may not have the speediest computer, but with a celeron you aren't either (in fact, you probably wouldn't notice much of a difference in normal use). The longer lasting battery life is pretty key... after that who wants their thighs on fire?
They will undoubtedly have built-in DRM
Surprising... Apple trying to instill interest in reading to children. Maybe their parents will turn around and buy a mac Book...? Clever play on words... but until i see it on shelves, im not counting on a tablet or ebook reader any time soon.
Too bad they're all sold out... damn
Meh... it's all science fiction anyway.

Seriously Engadget? Do you really think this is the kind of mumbo-jumbo you think us nerd can understand?
"... to fabricate a quantum device called a resonant interband tunneling diode (or RITD) using a chip-making technique called "vapor desposition,"..."

You may as well have just told me the technology behind the new handheld radios that you can drop from 10 stories up, half way down becomes a whale that contemplates its own existence that then evolves into a flower pot that sighs "not again", and eventually lands on its feet like a cat. Because that would have made more sense to me.


PS: Just kidding, everyone knows that cat's cant land on their feet from more thank 6 or 7 stories
No, his question was right the first time... how long would it take to charge the standard lithium ion battery pack that a marine carry's? Which i guess would be however many watt-hours the battery is, divided by 8? I'm going to assume that the military has some very nice (probably fairly heavy) high-watt-hour'd batterys... so the answer would be quite a while.

But they've also got very low-energy-consuming devices to charge, which means they can charge things quickly.
Also... while it's a fairly valuable logo... the apple itself with a bite taken out of it is definitely not worth billions.

A couple hundred thousands to a few millions maybe... but not billions...

Either way though, still worth protecting.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"
