January 27, 201016 yr And the Apple Store appears to be up, so it doesn't seem like anything cool will be set free today.
January 27, 201016 yr No 3G... really? Unless they allow people to wirelessly tether this to an iPhone or other device this thing is all but worthless for most people... especially any business person that travels or anyone that is on the road for the matter. My guess is that they will speak to this in just a few minutes.
January 27, 201016 yr Yes. iBooks. This bit looks right! Agreed, but Amazon cannot be happy unless they're a silent partner.
January 27, 201016 yr The deal breaker for certain for me will be whether it can host external devices (hard drives, keyboards, monitors, etc.).
January 27, 201016 yr Yes. iBooks. This bit looks right! Unfortunately, the screen (LCD) still sucks for reading. Maybe they'll be doing some pixie dust treatment on the screen to make it better. EDIT - Of course, the fact e-book function is there with EPUB made it more likely that I may actually consider this device now.
January 27, 201016 yr There you go GE, it has 3G. 250MB/mo = $14.99 Unlimited = $29.99 Again, fucking AT&T, but without the contract.
January 27, 201016 yr Cool... so now you can pay monthly fees for mobile broadband, your cell phone, and this? I want to see this do something my netbook cant.
January 27, 201016 yr I don't use AT&T, but I have heard bad things about its 3G service and data plans. What does unlimited actually mean to AT&T? This seems like a great deal for laptops at this price if you could work that out.
January 27, 201016 yr Sounds like a fine data plan for Americans, we'll get ripped out here as always. The iPad leaves me pretty cold so far...
January 27, 201016 yr Pricing... Wifi $499 16GB $599 32GB $699 64GB w/ 3G add $130 to each Shipping in 60 days for wifi, 90 days for 3G.
January 27, 201016 yr Still haven't made it back up to the pre-hype level yet. 90 days for the 3G is ouch but I understand why they did it as they didn't want anything to leek from the FCC filings.... but they are going to lose a lot of the impulse buys this way.

January 27, 201016 yr It will. They're going to sell a metric ass-ton of these. I agree. This thing basically does everything that I use my $1300 Macbook for.
