It might be different if they had put the full OSX on it, limiting it to being an overgrown ipod. I never saw any value in an ipod anyway since everything else can do all the same functions, including pdas/phones. Doesn't make much sense to carry a devices dedicated to music when it doesn't do anything better than any phone that plays music either. Its more about the status symbol now, the people who lust after apple products seem to be the ones that fall for the beanie babies or the latest ifad.
