Yeah, but unfortunately, the few flaws that it has completely cripple the device. You have to note that this is being marketed as a potential computer replacement and it's completely locked down! I would pick up one of these things in a heartbeat if it ran Mac OS X (or better, if it could run Linux or Windows, officially or otherwise), but unfortunately, all it is right now is a big iPod Touch.
Lots of people have posted about how they believe Apple is trying to introduce the draconian lockdown policies in iPhone OS on regular desktops. While I don't think it's going to go THAT far, it's true that a mobile internet device like this should be more open.
I definitely think it's a beautiful device with a nice multi-touch screen and a sleek form factor, but I'm just saying, I'll wait until some other company makes a clone of it with a real OS.
That upcoming Chrome OS sounds like it would be nice on one of these keyboardless tablets.
