bigrich, what kind of work do you need to do when your away, just out of interest?

http://www.macworld.co.uk/mac/news/index.cfm?newsid=28478&pagtype=allchandate – though I originally got that from some shop with a pre-order page somebody gave a link to. Given Apple says "at a price that's well within reach", they at least think it's pocket change to their target market.

bigrich, what kind of work do you need to do when your away, just out of interest?

it's science, and there always something to add at the last minute a long way from home.

fair enough if you need dedicated software for that, then this obviously isn't going to work for you in a business sense, if you watch the keynote speech, the iWork demo's were pretty impressive so it is feasible for some that they could work on this away from home, just depends what sort of work you need to do.

I see a lot of potential for the apps, the demo's that had been worked on for just two weeks were a good intro, hopefully with a few months to work there will be some truly useful apps in there.

LOl at all the folk arguing the toss.

Of course there are more folk that don't want one than do want one. Doesn't make it not a good product.

More folk don't have a macbook than do – they still sell those!

More don't have an iphone than do – they're fine too.

More don't have an ipod than do – they still sell those!
