It hurts me Kyle, that you so quickly erased from your memory our video chats.

Apple has hidden a fairly good handwriting recognition feature within OSX since day one. I'm sure it is a descendant of the Newton OS. It would not surprise me to learn Apple has hidden this in iPhoneOS as well.

Were you a paid subscriber to Apple.com, you would've seen the joyous denouement.

Hmmn, so my edit wasn't necessary.

I wasn't sure if you had fixed it after I posted (before I edited).

Don't beat yourself up too much, we all make mistakes. Look at this way, it could be worse: you could be Conne...

I'll PM LK, I'm sure he'll want to watch it over and over and then denounce it on the web, and then watch it once more for good measure (of his erection).

Even at 9.7" screen, it is very slightly smaller than most netbooks that has 10.1".

On another note, the HP Slate is supposed to come with Windows 7 touch friendly design and compatibility, desktop multitasking, native Flash and multi-platform ability.

Sounds like an iPad killer.

I predict a failure along the lines of the Newton.

The iPad, having the screen exposed and prone to scratches/dents on the back as well, will require another special case, so in reality it will end up being bulkier and heavier to carry around vs a netbook.

I carry an iPhone 12 hours a day in my pocket with keys, change, sometimes a pocket knife, have banged it and dropped it repeatedly, etc.. Not a scratch on the screen.
