HAHAHHAHAHA.... No.
Seriously, I can get a real computer for that, with enough beer money left over to get stupidly drunk.
Apple has lost the plot.

Sounds about what I expected.... far more than a seriously more powerful laptop....
I wish I had apples ability to put **** in a box and have retarded people want to give me stupid amounts of cash for said **** in box.
It will still massively outsell the Aspire Revo which is £130.....

Damn, Apple need to get themselves Dick Turpin costumes if they are going to sell at those prices!!

It probably will, thus fuelling my cynicism and lack of faith in humanity.
I actually wanted one today, not anymore....

Is it really "eagerly anticipated" by anyone other than Mac fans (and only some of that at any rate)?
I just can't see it being useful for really anything. It just doesn't look like it will do anything particularly well.
I'm looking to upgrade my first gen EEE PC later this year and nothing compels me with the iPad. The eInk Adam looks far more versatile (though I wish Google would release a touch friendly version of Chrome OS for devices like this) or that hybrid Lenovo that can be a netbook & tablet with different OSs & processors for each.
Not really a surprise. Apple are well known for raping their customers at every opportunity. Anything involving an exchange of currency is just another excuse for adding a bit on
£700... for a super-sized phone-less iPhone? Jesus wept.
Not a huge suprise considering how much they charge for some of their other products.£700... for a super-sized phone-less iPhone? Jesus wept.
But people are paying, which justifies the price point.
The Iraqi government spent millions of dollars on bomb detectors which didn't detect bombs. That didn't make it any less of a scam.
No I don't argue that point, but the detector sellers made money and that is my point. Ultimately Apple is a business and all they want to do is make a much money as possible.
I would love to see, at the £499 price point, a PC in that form factor with multi-touch, Win 7, 4GB RAM+, 40GB+ SDD, a CULV CPU, not Atom ... and I would purchase that just for Bryce and Paint.NET. (I'm sure others would for Photoshop...)
