"It's powered by our own silicon. The 1GHz Apple A4 chip. It screams."

PA Semi's work, I guess.

"It's powered by our own silicon. The 1GHz Apple A4 chip. It screams."

Whoa. Apple processor.

 

[*LTD*]

Apple A4 chip??

 

[ABG]

Fantastic - its only £1.50!

That's what he meant by 1.5 pounds right?

 

[KyPosey]

looks like a cool toy, but not practical for my everyday use.

 

[msheldrick]

i know the first think i need in a tablet pc is a compass






/sarcasm

 

[macfan881]

wow 10 hrs battery life?

 

[kirk26]

I like this:

It has 802.11n, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR. 30-pin connector, speaker, microphone, accelerometer and compass.

"10 Apple hours of battery life"

 

[sampro]

10 Hour Battery Life! Sweet...

 

[mdriftmeyer]

IPS screen?

Beautiful color with H-IPS.

 

[mdriftmeyer]

Apple A4 chip??

Hence the Apple ARM chip.

Now now people, remember what happened the last time this happened.
It isn't for me though. I was hoping for a Macbook as a tablet, not a big iPhone. I guess it's still early though...
Ah. 64gb storage. Nah. This definitely isn't for me.

"10 Apple hours of battery life"

This is more like it. Can't wait for the flood of iPad battery life threads.

 

[pavelbure]

here it comes. 60 min. of crap.

 

[jonnysods]

And one more thing...

A FREAKIN' MACBOOK PRO REFRESH!!!

 

[rorschach]

YAWN ... here comes a half hour of 3rd party app demos ...

 

[Robert M.]

10 hours battery life!! And 16-64gigs!! So it'll be a 16gig version probably for about $599-$699!

 

[Reason077]

For me the only real fail so far is the home screen. That home screen interface may be the right choice for the iPhone, but a tablet needs something more dashboard-like.

 

[ChazUK]

10:31AM Can run all iPhone apps unmodified out of the box.

Great for a back catalouge of apps.

 

[Small White Car]

Buying PA Semi finally paid off! (After all these years.)

I'm somewhat excited by the idea of Apple chips.

 

[nfl46]

I see they have made some changes to iPhone OS 4. We can now have backgrounds pictures.

 

[zacman]

Beautiful color with H-IPS.

But no AMOLED like everyone expected/hoped for.

 

[jayducharme]

Yawn

So far I'm very disappointed. Of course, it was hard to live up to the hype. But still, I can't believe the form factor. It's a square, which I guess might make it easier to hold. But most media seems to work better in widescreen. It's a big iPhone with seemingly less useful functionality. I don't get it. I wonder if Jobs really said the he was most proud of this device....
