Having tried working with Tablets to take notes, there are some distinct problems...The primary problem with tablets, and I am sure it will be so with the Apple tablet, it that when you want to take notes, you apply some amount of pressure with your palm on the writing surface, and the remainder applied at the stylus point to take down what you are copying. The two points of pressure, one general and one specific throw off the tablets touch surface, and the software loses track of everything... Another issue is calibration... for whatever reason, the tablet PC's lose track of where the stylus is touching the screen, sometimes it's off 1/16, sometimes it can be off as much as 1/4". It's annoying at best to work around these kind of issues... I think that a keyboard for text only notes is still the best... and if diagrams or pictures are involved, pen and paper can't be beat.

Email is legally considered admissible in court as evidence. Get your boss telling you to install the software, express your concerns. Get it in email, export the PST with all the tracking. Cover yourself, then start looking for another job.
Hardly, anyone that has built a hackintosh, or for that matter, modded a netbook to run OSX, would never blame Apple for it not working... the whole point is just to see if you can do it,...
Has anyone with a Verizon Droid tried the RyeBrye hack on it?
It would be interesting to know if the Verizon units are as easy to mod as the T-mobile ones...
You do know that it is Microsoft's VISTA OS right? Can't they build in what they want? No One is FORCING anyone to buy Vista, the can buy MacOS or Download any version of Linux they want, Microsoft wrote the code, its theirs, if they want to lock out vendors, or increase or decrease security on a whim, they can, its theirs... doesn't anyone get this? If you don't like MS, choose some other vendors OS...
Am I the only business person here that actually stores email that is business oriented? I have, in my inbox alone, approx 8,000 email sorted by sender, then by date in Outlook/exchange. Email is extremely important; its not only a form of communication that is presentably legally, but it also is a paper trail to look back on and find where you were on a project months ago; for those of us that multi-task on projects that last years. For me, the email client, its search and sort capabilities have to be the best, they have to show me what I want, when I need it, and I don't have time to look or wait, or, should I dare say it, look through print outs of email received in the past that have been stored in a paper file cabinet. Junk mail filtering is simply a piece of a much larger landscape for those of us that have to keep track of it all. Having a calendar is essential, task reminders, also essential. Email is not close to dead, as was posted previously. Our company and the the companies with whom we work rely on it daily.
This is not new at all, AC Propulsion made the T-Zero years ago, and its faster 0-80 than every exotic car, they have video footage taken independantly to prove it. http://acpropulsion.com/
I use EMC Dantz Retrospect, Which backs up our notebooks, desktops, and servers, all with snap shot imaging. Check them out http://www.dantz.com/
I haven't been let down yet. We recently lost a SBS 2003 to a hacker, and recovered it without problems, SBS, Exchange, and SQL Server. Retrospect is a life saver.
As a Prius owner, I for one am very glad that computers have made their way to the dash. I love the GPS and Console control of the Climate, Stereo, and of Course the connection to my phone through BlueTooth!
I don't think slashdotters are actually reading the specs:
AtomChip® Quantum® II processor
6.8GHz with 256MB on-board memory
It doesn't have over 4 Gigs of RAM it has 256 Megs of RAM, what they are claiming is that they have in essence linked an IDE interface to a Terabyte Compact Flash Disk. Look closely at the pics! I experimented on my own system with a similar idea, putting a USB 2.0 Interface to a 512Mb Compact Flash Disk and using the disk as a page file for windows xp. It WORKS! Its fast, and it probably is the basis of this idea.
Actually, I just this morning walked in on one of my desktop computers, and it has a real scan of the drive that posts that there is a possible browser hijack, and its named Internet Explorer Mozilla...

WHERE WERE THE PARENTS IN ALL THIS? The parents are the ones who should be in court, not a bunch of software developers and retail stores, these suits are way out of hand... When is the government responsible for raising children, why aren't his parents held to task?
Doesn't anyone ask the appropriate questions anymore?

What's wrong with Debian/Ubuntu?
That's not true, my wife's iphone just this past weekend was essentially disabled until she plugged it in to itunes to receive some kind of update.

Mac OSX also works with Netflix
Good Luck with that...

Cross Over Office, IE install + Quickbooks Online = works perfectly well!

You get a nice tax break every year for owning a new one.

Funny how Tesla's work finally comes back around.
I highly recommend the Mobile Edge, Backpack,... I has excellent padding and storage for much more than just the notebook.
