its getting critisism because they made a big ipod touch. everything on it an ipod touch can do. its just an upscaled version for people with bad eyesight it looks like lol. the spec is shit along with its os. it can only run 1 programme at a time and doesnt support flashplayer and they made out that the bookstore on it is a *new* thing. when the book store on ipod touch has been out for years ? i might buy one just to hack and then see what it can do.

@Shaunt1 you're so dumb, this is not even a iPhone, you can't call with it and the aluminium is already more than 200 bucks

I don't understand all the criticism this device is getting.
It's definitely targeted to a certain consumer base. People want it to be a laptop.. it's NOT MEANT to be a laptop.. people want it to have a camera. Like they would actually snap pictures with a 10 inch rectangle.. it's not meant to be an iPhone..
I see it as a very thin/sleek pad that i can slide in my briefcase/book bag or w/ever take notes at a meeting, take notes in class. Not to mention the book store.

Totally unnecessary! It's basically a giant i Phone. I still think it's too expensive. It shouldn't be more than $200 to be a good deal.
