I’ve never owned anything other than PC’s, and use a PC constantly at work, but after spending some quality time with the iPhone, and playing around with a friends MacBook Pro, I’m ready to “switch”.
Rumors abound of a 9.? inch Mac Tablet coming sometime soon (August 2009 was one suspected release date, now rumors are saying Feb; my guess would be in the fall for Christmas, but Feb has been a traditional release date, but may no longer be). I want to take a look at that. I love my iPhone. I bought a net book which I did not hackintosh because it began to look much too complicated to get all the pieces functioning together again. I paid $250 for the netbook which I used to hold photographs when I travel. The tablet is rumored to have a data plan with ATT (Verizon was an earlier rumor partner but from the rumored parts ordered, they work with ATT not Verizon.) No one seems to know what OS it will use. Ports will be a big issue for me.
Of course I'm lusting after a MacBookAir, but it's just too expensive for a toy to travel with. (My travel is almost all leisure and international, so light is good).
