I was hoping for a 1984 big brother tie in, but perhaps that won't occur until the super bowl commercial.
FWIW, that commercial does have a point in a lot of ways.
The xoom 5MP camera, iPad2 rumored camera - crappy 1mp.
android does give the consumer more freedom, and options as well.![]()
I prefer android myself. Flame away appleboys!
Ive used many of them and they just dont have the same smoothness in operation.

I get the freedom and choice things for geeks. 95% of the population couldn't care less about that nor are they aware of it.
Okay, so the ad is a teaser for the real superbowl ad, but still.
It doesn't seem like they "get it". Apple's entire concept is based on providing a unified "package" to the end user. Whats under the hood doesn't so much matter as what you can DO with it. Look at Apple's ads -- generally not much about tech specs as about usage and user experience.
Anyone can throw a jumble of high spec components in a shiny package and trot it out. Making it easy to use for anyone's mother or grandmother? Not so many do that.
My guess -- it'll appeal to a certain segment of users but will fail to achieve mass adoption.
it's funny how there are always SOOOO many people on this site who moan and groan about the specs that Apple DOESN'T include in their products... [..] In the end, it's about what you do with the product they sell... There are other choices out there... I'm sure Dell or Toshiba would be happy to take your money !!
Well said... and yet it's funny how there are always SOOOO many people on this site who moan and groan about the specs that Apple DOESN'T include in their products...
Oh, there's no HDMI port !!
Oh, why don't they support USB 3 ?
What, no Blu Ray disc in my MBP?
iPad 2 won't have an SD card Slot... DEAL BREAKER !!!---
should I go on??
