Describe it for me.

From what may have been describing as a revolutionary product with such anticipation, I would have liked to see a more blended iPhone/OSX SL OS... something that does more than just be a big iPhone with no flash still.
For the cost of this thing, he might as well have just put in phone support to give it a further one-up on other e-readers/tablets coming to the market and give it a potential video conferencing ability.
Perhaps I read too much into the rumors the past month or so, but this didn't have any of Apple's previous wow-factor conferences.
The netbook comparasin was a bad choice IMO. I get where he's getting at in terms of just email and web browsing, but they are quite capable of more. I'll be interested to see the full technical specs re: processor, ram, etc, to see how bad a choice he made.
I'll put it to you like this... my Netbook HP Mini 311 is the best MiniMacBook Air I've ever bought at a fraction of the cost of a real Macbook Air. Yes, I hackintoshed it, put in 3GB ram and a 80GB SSD and it works beautifully. And yes, my SL OS is a purchased copy.
EDIT: I'll be optimistic though and grant him the full conference time and then some to give me more hope. Either way, its not something I'm interested in right now from what I've seen.
