No multitasking, no webcam, and I can only run App Store titles, even
if I buy the $829 version? How much money do you have to give Apple
before you get a computer you can actually control? I think a lot of us
hoped for a nice glass-screen multi-touch MacOS tablet that could also
maybe run iPhone apps, but this is just a supersized locked-down iPhone
that can't make phone calls or take pictures. Bleh.
I miss the old Apple [Computer] Inc. that built general purpose
computers catered to the creative set. If any electronic device was
tailored to the consumer-gullet notion ('\"a consumer was no more than
'a gullet whose only purpose in life is to gulp products and crap
cash.'\"' (http://cluetrain.com/book/markets.html)), it's this
silly-looking new thing.
