Although he didnt make it clear whether its a subset of OSX, what the compatibility is like, whether users will have the ability to load what they want on it. Skype for example.
It must be a cut-down version in some way or it would take an annoying amount of time to startup & drain the battery too quickly? Dunno, just speculating. Looks like a nice device, shame have to wait so long for it, especially as it wont be out in Europe till the 4th quarter. Was there any mention of the built-in camera recording video? Any mention of what video formats/resolutions it will support? Do we know what the actual screen resolution is? Lacking 3G seems like a slightly strange omission although personally I'll use it mostly with wifi. Im glad to see Apple shake this stuff up because my experinces with smartphones and pocketpc phones havent been overly enjoyable. Am looking forward to see what the multi-touch is like, and how apples implementation of touchscreen compares to microsofts dismal tablet efforts. There was a bit of Apples usually over-egging of the uniqueness, I can use a finger with my pocketpc quite nicely, but the full-browser and multitouch should make an interesting difference to the experience. The Apple TV currently has me interested too, any idea of release date for that? It would probably be more of a killer device if it supported a widder range of video formats but its too early to tell.
