I'm really surprised that no one pointed out that the photo in the article captioned "A photo shows Gaioz Nigalidze’s match sheet and confiscated iPhone. (Dubai Chess and Culture Club)" is an iPod Touch, with the WiFi turned off.
a bit more on your points...
I bought an iPod... About 6 months later I sold my Dell Latitude D505 notebook and bought a PowerBook G4. This was about the same time as the "Switch" ads.... So, Points 1 and 3 are just lame.
No firewire? Moron... USB is cheaper than firewire to implement. and, IIRC the chips are smaller and use less power. Not to mention that USB2 is faster than 1394a.
just my $0.02
Enhanced SpeedStep is nice - CPU idles at about 88F now.
Speed is a bit better with standard Linux/XP - 2M Cache helps.
Compression and Decompression under x86-64 Linux and Windows XP "64 Bit Edition" is VERY VERY fast.

and upon closer inspection, the moves written on the sheet do not match the moves listed on the iPod. A setup? A reenactment?
Not to mention, it's pink.

You do realize that there is an 85 page PDF of errors in the AMD64, right?
Excuse me?
