You get AirPlay. That means every single Apple device can be mirrored on your TV. That means any iOS app can be played on the TV, and some even know when they are being AirPlayed and use the iPad as another screen.

I have never had a single issue with streaming Netflix on my Apple TV. I actually have more issues with HD content from iTunes streaming slowly.

You can use it entirely independent of iTunes. Don't even need iTunes to boot it up.

Library is great here in the US, probably more limited elsewhere. I rarely find anything on Spotify that is not available on Rdio.

A 16:9 screen is really annoying to use as a tablet. The iPad's 4:3 screen is far more comfortable in both portrait and landscape.

Meh, don't really like Engadget's attitude either. Best liveblog I have found so far is gdgt's.

Anyone else tired of the sarcasm being seen on many of the liveblogs?

Be happy, Rdio is so much better anyway.

Because the design is so damn bad and limited.

I still can't believe how bad the Spotify UI is. Rdio continues to blow it out of the water on that front.

I'm betting they are announced/released in April.

There were like 8-9 books in total. 4-5 Rogue Squadron books, and 4 Wraith Squadron books.

My heart skips a beat at every Stargate reference.

The X-Wing and TIE Fighter games were awesome. It's too bad they haven't made any since X-Wing: Alliance.

Hahahahaha, Corran Horn was the best. Did you read "I, Jedi"?

No they weren't clones in general after the Clone Wars. No ret-conning here. Just a change in how stormtroopers are hired.

Yep. That movie. So good.

A significant portion of my childhood involved illustrating the battles I read about in the X-Wing novels (anyone else read those?).

Stormtroopers during the period seen in Episodes 4-6 and after are not clones except in some specific cases.

Let me see you successfully pull those off on a cheap Dell. If they even support all of those (many cheap trackpads don't support more than 2-3 touches) their drivers are awful and their hardware is cheap.
