I'm not a big fan of Apple products, but I do have to give props to Apple for raising the bar of technology which everybody else has to follow and mimic.

So I'm ready to see what the iThink will be.

Looks like a laptop to me. Without the hinged cover/screen. I gotta wonder about screen protection on that .... ?notepad?
I saw reports on it. I think my laptop does everything it does. Any manufacturer, of any product, always offers a new and improved item. Auto manufacturers just change out the grills and lights year to year to spur sales.

http://www.archos.com/


archos has had something simular for a while now....

just like the archos 5, imo destroys the iTouch, as it can play divx movies, mp4, etc without needing to "convert" them.

So it has a touch-sensitive screen for a "virtual" keyboard?

yea... it wont, it seems like alot of more famus people use archos, they used them on tour buses etc.

i have an archos 5 and the dvr doc for it, it will let me play HD movies from it to my tv, or allow me to record analog tv (they dont have a digital tuner that i know of yet)
