    Very underwhelming, but I expected little from Crapple anyway.

    How (exciting * 0.7). Now if they'd come down to non-Apple pricing, it'd be (exciting * 1.0) and I'd consider buying one.
    Where's the docking station?

    No HDMI is a poor choice. Also, how is this a deal?

    What's with Apple and the constant use of canadian b@cony-ass white plastic for their cases?

    #17 - dual chips are better than single chips... or at least that's what steve thinks... Rolling Eyes
