14 ounce powerbook sim

Rather it pays homage to Apple's ligne of design, IMHO, as imitation is

Hear, hear!

But on its real qualities/drawbacks, other than running that Windoze 
full to overflowing features crap  (sorry, poop, let's keep to our high 
standards ) you'd really have first to get it into your hands to feel 
it, as it's evidently just a variation on the size/capabilities 
equation in a really portable machine. And how do they call that 
epidemic in Japanese youngsters? Acute Bilateral Thumbatitis ?
It seems designed to be used just standing or sitting anywhere.
And what will be said might be: "Hey, where's the phone?"," 
whaddayamean, it don't take pictures? You kiddin'me?" or even, if Apple 
does one, "where's the iPod?"
But a really cute Baby-Mac could be a great hit with female management 
and staff.
Or Apple could cut a deal with Blackberry, or... or...
And it also feels a bit expensive, if a new iBook can be had today for 
a grand, I think?
But I cannot help but salivate copioussssssly at the thought of a 
baby-mac.


best,

eric.
