That was a revolutionary rebranding.

Three things I promise:
1) no hard drive
2) no Apple product will ever be named "clouded leopard"
3) No PixelQi screen.
LOL, yeah but I get a service that has fewer outages than Gmail and I don't have Google going through my emails. I also get a Find My iPhone feature that companies like Lojack charge for the price of all of MobileMe's features on Amazon.

find my iphone oughta be free from at&t.
I have mobile me and gmail, and in my experience gmail has been much more stable - I've only ever noticed one outage (doubtless there have been others) whereas mobile me has been flakey. Are there uptime stats available for each?
Unless you just know you could never afford something like that, how could you say that. You havn't the slightest idea about the posibilities of this thing are.
I am very curious why you say no on Pixel Qi? It seems they are now ready to ship a screen in the rumored size. They are doing demos at CES.
Maybe Find my iPhone should be handled by the carrier but AT&T would most likely for charge for it since they're a telco and would charge you for breathing if they could.
Really? MobileMe has had one or two outages last year and one was in the early morning hours in the US. Gmail had like 10-12 outages and all of them were during work hours in the US last year. Maybe there is something wrong with your specific account.
TUAW always has posts when there is something wrong with MobileMe. As for gmail, anytime there's a problem Twitter usually goes ablaze with complaints.

This will make my prediction all the more amazing when it comes true.

While that looks aesthetically cool, it looks insanely impractical. I want something a little bit less-fragile looking.
You could say the same thing about the iPhone. If it helps, rumors seem to indicate that Apple is concerned about the glass and it might be more shatter resistant when it comes out.
It's also interesting to know what kind of material is on the back. It might give clues to the next iPhone.

I'd like to see something rubbery on the back that doesn't scratch very easily like the iPhones does. SOmething like the pismo or wallstreet would be pretty cool.

Sold out doesn't mean it sold well. It just means stock was scarce. I'm not pulling any numbers out of anywhere and the pipe is down. Check it out for yourself :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:IPhone_sales_per_quarter_simple.svg
Yes, the initial price drop helped sales, and yes, the 3G is what really launched the iPhone. I know facts aren't as fun as revised history, but they still remain, a 600$ iPhone, and a subsequent cheaper but lacking 3G and MMS iPhone sold very badly.
Yes. And that large fluctuation in sales has nothing at all to do with the iPhone becoming available in all those other, entirely insignificant, parts of the world...
i'm going to guess that the unsubsidized price will be $799.
there will probably be two models though, 64gig and 120gig...

Why does everyone assume the $1000 price tag is legit? It's a RUMOR site for crying out loud! And yet many of you are screaming FAIL at Apple for something you don't even know is true.
The Jackassery in these forums continues unabated......
dude they are just commenting on the rumor not saying it is true calm down

what if the tablet itself was not only the ereader/mediaguru touch device it claims itself to be but the "you'll be amazed how you interact with it" goes a step further and it syncs to your computer and becomes a touch screen keyboard? you could manipulate pictures and throw them onto your other screen you have attached (like I have a 24 inch attached to my macbook) and then finish it up with a keyboard and mouse.
also that screen technology they were talking about, that would give it that real key feel even though there are not any.
you could surf through websites just like they advertise in that video clip a few pages back and everything else.
for a keyboard/media device I'd pay close to 1000 for it depending on how much content it could hold and the size.
don't know if someone mentioned that or not. not reading through eight pages to find out. it would certainty be cool though.

I have around $1200 saved just waiting for this announcement.
If the tablet comes in at between $500-$750, then I'll consider it even if it is essentially a large iPod Touch with "interactive book" type content. Especially if the interface is truly something special.
But if it pushes $1000, it better be a MacBook replacement (running full-blown OS/X) or it is simply no deal for me - I'll save up another $200 and get an MBP.

Actually what people are saying is...IF it is $1000 it would be too expensive for them.
Bit different to your jackass comment
As for me...$1000 for a tablet running a form of OSX would be fair. But if it is a big iTouch then it is not gonna be on my shopping list.
