It's not going to evolve into a full-blown touchscreen PC. Not in v2 or v200. That model already failed. Instead of making a MacBook into something else, Apple has created a new class of computer.<br /><br />Many apps are moving to the clouds. Web-based apps are the future, and Apple knows it. You don't need a big HD and a video card and extra RAM and cables and blah blah blah to work portably anymore. A BT keyboard and you're good to go - anywhere. I expect video and photo editing via the clouds to be the future. And editing with multitouch should be more user friendly than using a mouse. All your videos and photos are stored in a cloud, too.<br /><br />Office-compatible apps already exist on it. Flash is going bye-bye. HTML 5 will win and the iPad will run it very well. Web browsing will be superior with multitouch. I expect v2 to have a webcam for videochat. So what more do you need when mobile?Mike.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07185348683603993809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6872160274765028268.post-45769056751693636592010-01-30T02:04:38.749-06:002010-01-30T02:04:38.749-06:00I agree, not too impressed with this.

They should have charged $1500 and made it what it should have been. A touch screen tablet that is also a Macbook. <br /><br />Having the iPad only run apps is selling this thing short of what it could have been. <br /><br />I wanted a touch screen Macbook..... It needs much more Cowbell!!!Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09747582209457410029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6872160274765028268.post-14468816819360718952010-01-29T09:06:00.397-06:002010-01-29T09:06:00.397-06:00I'm not buying this thing in its current form....I'm not buying this thing in its current form. Too much hype, not enough substance...or Cowbell. No screaming, clapping, or other "rabid" response from this Mac head. Gimme a Verizon iPhone and I'll be good.<br /><br />Just so you know, there is support for USB and other plugins with dongles...that you have to buy.<br /><br />If you were expecting it to run another browser, you were dreaming.<br /><br />For $500, you're not getting a touchscreen macbook. Ever. <br /><br />v2 will not address all the issues you're having right now.
