Speaking of the future, anyone have any hopes for Moto? Not setting too high expectations...

Yup, I have high hopes. Given what Moto has been able to do with the Droid it is reasonable to expect that they can make both a compelling and capable device to compete with the iPad. And of course their promotional material is going to be over the top with regards to the industry leader/standard. All I know is that so far my Droid X is a far better phone and certainly the equal as an entertainment device compared to my iPhone. Granted, I didn't have the iPhone 4 but there's a least a chance that Moto's offering will be something that interests a lot of folks.

I initially was rather opposed to the idea of anuthing apple but I must say the iPhone is starting to grow on me. The interface mostly. Hardware wise I don't care for the phone one way or the other. But after playing around with a MacBook air and the iPad I am starting to like their products more. Am I going to give up my thinkpad for a Mac? No. The trade off between money spent on hardware and money spent on a spiffy interface is too high. Now if apple reduced prices or offered better hardware for the same price...

You are also paying for the better integration of the hardware/software/OS. That to me has become worth the premium price. That being said, the evo 4g, has made me appreciate the android OS, especially on a smaller device like a phone or smaller tablet. I think it is definitely competitive with the iPhone/iPad OS.

Well the whole line between glass and aluminum thing is great and all but beyond the initial honeymoon period does one really care for such things after say 9 months? the build quality of IBM thinkpads was incomparable IMO. I still have mine from 6 years ago and after having gone down a flight of stairs 3 times and being dropped many more all that happened to it was a chip on the USB port side chassis. Upgraded ram but other than that nothing else was changed. That tp is thinner than my current one. I don't think any mainstream current production laptops can take that kind of accidental abuse with crapping out.

Old thinkpad build quality + matte black chassis + apple interface would be my dream. Too bad it will never happen :(
