@GhoS: It's a good product and sometimes corporate policies don't play into someone's equation of buying a product if it doesn't affect their enjoyment.

@The_Other_White_Meat: Flash will be awesome on my EVO. I can't wait to carry around a backpack with a car battery just to use it for more than 30 minutes.

@OptionalJoystick: Brilliant!

@Elie Khoury: Pay almost twice as much for a computer that doesn't run your programs without paying $200-230 on top of that? Decide Boot Camp or virtualization? Have a paltry selection of gaming software to run natively? Learn a whole new system?

@nman: I know you've gotten a flood of responses, but let me just add my 2 cents. I come into contact with a variety of laptops both Mac and PC. If I used PC laptops exclusively, I would agree with you 100% that using a trackpad makes no sense. Initially, the trackpad was an awkward compromise in comparison to…

@Hearthatvoiceagain: But comparatively speaking, an approval process would make it safer.

Since you guys were so right about the iPad's control scheme (and everything else about it), I am definitely dropping a shit-ton of eggs in your intricately woven basket of dreamy speculation.

Your arms and neck will hurt from a touchscreen that big? How about a mouse?

@moonlightseal: Until they come up with an app that actually does use those things but not in the way the user expects. What then?

@Hearthatvoiceagain: As down as I want to be on Apple, they actually have their shit in order on this.

Send a check.

@s8ist: my sarcasm tag...

@mhatti3000: I was being Jobsian. I forgot to use my tag.

@Sir Gibler: uhh... that IS racist.

In other news, they have numerous spokeswomen operating under the collective name "one." That's creepy borg-type shit.

Upgrade to 3.1. Not that big a deal.
