That was my first reaction too. But getting past the initial glossy headlines, consider that very little is known. It has a small color screen. It plugs into a TV/video feed. It uses DVD or just CD. It gives access to the internet. THAT's not much info.

Subjective speculation could go in many different directions from there. For instance: A handheld Newton like device that plays games, music CDs and DVD movies anywhere (Disney tie in), is a thin client machine to run under any server OS and uses a Mac OS lite. Video out can be hooked to a TV to play games, surf the net, give presentations, think tank collaboration. It could have broad market appeal with a cost of $699 MSRP

Sippin' cider,
