Mine ( 64gig and 3GS ) arrives later this month - all I want it to do is allow me to get email and respond, surf the the net in any room in the house or my offices , or my car or on the plane, control my music system and allow me to have my books,magazines, journals and periodicals,music - as well as Bloomberg with me all the time. I cant get this functionality from a laptop which is clunky to had hold and runs out of power in a blink - I can also put some of my photos on it to show off -
of course this is a very dumbed down version of what will be around in a few years time- who cares though because it is a very smart personal library and controller now.
I dont get the JAVA battle war blah blah..but then again - I dont like JAVA much anyway - as soon as any photographers site starts making me wait for yet another clunky Java scenario- I just click away to somewhere else. eg the ZARA site was absolutely frustrating and the Levis site was intrusive with ts bongo crappy music loop...it is all so old tech and corporate cool - eeeeeew. designed by a not cool designers - all that stuf is going to get blown away..
this device is made for people who spend a lot of time reading stuff delivered electronically over the web , people who have to read a lot ..all the time..it frees them from having to sit at a place and stare at a clunky computer screen at a place - like the computer tells you where you have to be to look and surf and communicate ...which is over engineered for reading - and ergonomically dangerous to boot. it also makes it easier to get messages and correspondence anywhere all the time - avoiding the squinty eyed where are my reading glasses again look.:bugeyes: you get when trying to do this stuff with an Iphone ( or worse - a Blackberry)
I do wish that they had given us a choice re matte screen.
I dont want it to be a substitute for a laptop. I dont want it to be a flat screen mac I dont want it to have excel or word or photoshop built in. I do want it to be a nice software MIDI controller interface for Studio Pro, Prologic and Cubase.
thats why I am looking forward to delivery.
