Electronics causing (or at least triggering) a genetic disorder? It happens a lot. I know several people who have developed Tourettes after a few short hours of Mario Kart.

Just not at the same time....
by making it cheaper to distribute content to a broader audience
Cheaper for the corporation, but then they can jack up the prices because ohh, look how big the screen is. Oooohhh and it does stuff when i touch it!
the featureset makes it seem like it'd be a good spot between e-reader and netbook
isn't that like saying apple's discovered a new meal between breakfast and brunch? i guess some people may enjoy it, while others find it unnecessary.
