I think what macbreak said is 100% true, there will be skeptics until you go to mac store and play with the thing, that will sell you - not you Frequitude but you in general.

But the form factor of an iPhone lends itself to typing with your thumbs. The ergonomics of 10 digit typing is completely different. Surely no one will type on this thing with their thumbs, the touch screen keyboard will be too big.
Heck, the more I think about it the more I've come to realize that it'd be a fun device for digital media and browsing the web anywhere. Of course there are many times I'd wish my iPod touch was bigger or that it had 3G support. And for $600 the price is almost right to even just have it for hockey pooling on the couch. But its just not something I
need so I won't be buying one.
People are right that this isn't meant to be a laptop, that it is an in between device. But I'm in the market for a new laptop. I wish Apple made a sick tablet/laptop hybrid that ran a full OS. I'd pay a couple grand for that thing tomorrow.
