Wait. Can't you get 1tb drives these days for the same price?
Just get one of those SATA-USB docks and swap as needed.

Let's give them cool names like w/ Ferraris and Lambos.

Or T-Mobiles....
"The Bleeding Edge"
"The Bleedinger Edge"
"The Bleedingerer Edge"

I just spent about $900 (before rebates that'll knock it down to about $800) on a machine not unlike this.

Intel Core 2 Duo 3.0ghz
4gb Kingston Value Ram (On sale at Fry's, reasonable value if slightly less performance)
EVGA 9800GT 512mb (which I think is the exact card they're using, at least in the picture)
Gigabyte low-end enthusiast motherboard (not SLI, eff that noise)
1tb hard drive to round it out.

It runs Crysis on Ultra Fuck Yeah! at, well , I haven't enable the FPS counter but it runs smooth as butter with all the details.
I didn't realize the suits and weapons were slightly shiny until yesterday when I plugged in Vista.
I'm ready, bring on the Warhead!

And why are people bitching about if it's an expansion or not. The point is it's MORE CRYSIS! HOOAH!!

I"m guessing it's for people that get an assload of email, don't want a smartphone, but don't want to reply using a tiny screen and a number pad.

That's the point.
Most people won't need this.
But look at it. It's a dedicated device that does one thing really well.
Besides. It will probably be hacked in short order into.... something.

Okay. The specs and numbers look great for a computer that size. I'm impressed.

But... I didn't see a microphone (pink?) port anywhere on there.
I thought it was called a *cough* studio desktop?

One of the major obstacles holding back the 'Killer App' is Apple itself. The terms for making apps restrict people from talking about coding for it, won't let people exchange tips, and restrict alot of the functionality of the device.
If one true killer app will come out this year it will likely only be available on jailbroken models.

Apple is new to the phone business, and sadly new to the 3rd-party application business. When they get around to discerning their ass from their elbows they'll end up taking over the pda market.

I bought an 8gb Touch a couple of weeks ago and so far I haven't regretted it, but I know it will be a bit of a wait for said ass/elbow conflict to be resolved.

Where the hell is my full screen keyboard? Beuller? Steve?

Wow. I'm slightly scared, yet titillated.

I don't see why it would have a battery at all. You will clearly need a small generator and end table to prop it up (it'd break your legs).

Maybe they're tucked in there somewhere.
