@superknoppix2.0: We're not talking about the model number printed on the back of the casing, there's a more specific one accessed through the Settings application (General-About).

The model number is wrong, unless white iPhones have a completely different model number.

@Facebook: Oh, I was just remarking that there's usually an "apple tax" on peripherals of this type.

@Triborough: I believe the quite was "A shopping cart" or some such.

It's really cool, and possible only because they're using seaplanes. No runway to build, no parking aprons, and no need for a bunch of jetways. All they need is a long dock.

@Odin: Not only copying the bad ideas, but pricing it at a dollar more than Apple charges.

@sid9221: It's terrible for ergonomics. And this isn't a trackpad like Apple's new one, it's probably closer to the Magic Mouse. A mouse (that's being moved around) shouldn't be designed only to have your hand on top of it.

@Odin: If you'd like to make x86 a prerequisite for considering something a computer, go right ahead.

@telepheedian: He's probably got one at home, and is using the iPad while away at school. Once you've synced the iPad once, you can use it without the computer until you want to add more music through something other than iTunes.

@Odin: Please explain why the iPad isn't a computer. It wasn't designed as a gaming console, and it's got one large capacitive touchscreen, not two small screens.

@Odin: However, the definition of a netbook seems to fit an iPad pretty well.

Hugh Hefner?

@Gann: Do recall that this museum has got to protect against category 5 hurricanes. It would be far more than just an architectural tragedy if many of Dali's works were destroyed at the same time in a weaker, more aesthetically pleasing structure.

Throw a charging dock connector into it and price it at $15 more than a mifi. At that price point, I'd almost consider jumping ship from AT&T.

I think a similar patent (or maybe it was the same one) popped up a year and a half ago, before the release of Snow Leopard.

@pz: From what I've read, they use automated tools to examine the code and then manually inspect it for other problems.

@yantelope: It's still working on my iPhone, so I guess not.
