Engadget is smoking gizmodo so far, albeit with slightly grainier photos

10:09AM "If there's gonna be a third category, it has to be better at these tasks -- otherwise it has no reason for being."

10:09AM "What kind of tasks? Browsing the web. Doing email. Enjoying and sharing pics. Watching videos. Enjoying music. Playing games. Reading ebooks."

but they get the key one first.

edit looks like my tab just crashed on engadget:

ironic, that looks like the droid BG

10:13AM "We have the iTunes store built right in. YouTube, and YouTube in HD."

It looks awesome. It'll be ridiculously overpriced, though.

Photo sorting looks good. A digital picture frame too.

I say $599-799 or thereabouts. They'll be in the 299-399 range in two years.

Why quote me and change the quote because you have technical issues?

It's my fault that the blog isn't loading? Ok.

The connection is fine for me.

Have you refreshed it since posting it? Looks like they're swamped.

Oh, I was figuring the Apple standard $1,000. Interesting that he says it'll be better at gaming than any other PC. Hopefully that means it'll actually play good games, not just run of the mill iPhone cutesy games.

10:18AM "Now if I want to send a message, I hit compose -- up pops this gorgeous keyboard." Steve is typing, it looks very responsive.

10:17AM Wow, nice email display -- message list in a column on the left, full message on the right.

10:16AM We're basically just watching Steve casually browse. This is odd.

10:16AM Now Steve is on Fandango... Now National Geographic. Switching to landscape. If you're an iPhone owner this will seem very familiar.

10:15AM "Let's go to Time magazine... see what's up there."

10:15AM No flash here... the missing plugin icon is on screen.

10:20AM Now we're watching a photo slideshow... just like iPhoto, cute music and all.

10:20AM Places in the photo app, that is.

10:20AM Now Steve is flipping through photos. Places is up now -- Google Maps in effect!

10:19AM "If I'm on a Mac, I can get events, places, and faces from iPhoto here."

This thing will be a massive failure. I mean, it has one freaking button. ONE. Seriously? GTFO.

:p
