   I really don’t understand all the negativity. This is just the start. In fact its not even released yet. If you all remember the iphone in its infancy and what it is today (just 2 years).

   Looks, well, kind of tacky and crap to be honest.
   Who the wants to read a ‘book’ on a device like this and have the screen wasted with fake pages (the vampire thing)?

   @jjcorreia, …
   @jjcorreia, Multitouch support in the latest beta still means that every Flash app to date needs it’s user interface rewritten to support this.

   Nope… just watched it again. Still sucks. Am off to set up my own company to make better than this. See you in a year. Thank you youtube for such an inspirational video.

   It looks like the …
   It looks like the brave new world of CDROM publishing in the 90s, where every bit of content needed a separate application (or media!) and lack of interoperability – even on the same device – rendered it painful to use.

   The web itself made short work of that world. This is a fool’s errand if publishers consider this approach to be the panacea for digital content distribution.

   @DavidRobertRoy Multitouch is in the latest flash player beta and developers can already try working with it.

    I predict that, once it takes off, IPad’s going to sell well, especially to families, where there will be regular arguments about whose turn it is to use it. Kids and parents are going to love it. It has the potential to take the place of aisles-full of electronic learning games from Walmart and Toys-r-Us. May or may not be “better” than a laptop, but form factor is definitely nicer for kids and less prone to damage. Wipe-able, with no hinges or keys to muck-up, possibly more drop-forgiving.

    Thanks. I knew someone will come forth and admit that Window is more popular all over the world.

    – It sold more copies than OS X because Windows is more popular globally.
    - Vista was ‘not’ perfect – there were numerous bugs and driver problems with various chipsets.
    - They DO ship things that are far from perfect. Thats why Office:Mac 2008 is poor

    Why would I be joking? Australia will have Surface all over there soon. MS was recently there and released SDK, its going to be a huge hit.

    Don’t worry. The Surface systems will be a huge hit. Microsoft just wants it to be perfect and thats why MS is so awesome. They never ship anything unless its near perfect. It was the press that attached Vista. Vista was perfect, nothing wrong with it. It even sold more copies that Mac.

    To me the thing MS created that’s far beyond Apple inventions is the MS Surface. But it hasn’t been spoke of since its first announcement, so…
