let me preface this by saying I am not an apple fan. I hate the smugness of it all. My desktop is a PC I built, my laptop was made by me. one runs vista the other xp. I do have to say that form does appear to be pretty important (as witnessed by apple's success) and it seems like ppl on the PC side (my side) haven't started to get it. The iphone/ipod touch look cool and have a slick UI (give credit where it's due) and I think a 10-12' tablet would be very practical and have a pretty cool gadget factor to it.

I agree, I hate the Apple smugness, but nowadays with Apple selling ipods and iphones, the majority of those people aren't smug. In fact, I am very surprised to see people buy an iphone who find it easy to use, while at the same time take forever to use anything on a normal computer.

Did you use an Asus pre built laptop? I have in the past, but seeing as how it costs almost a grand to make one, and the chassis is mostly if not all plastic, I find them to be not worth it at all.

I remember when the iphone came out, and how everyone here asked Anand, "Is the UI really that fluid and animated" because it was too good to be true.

I thought this video was a joke, but it was the prototype before Courier. Some cynically say this is actually where it really is in terms of development:
