Mostly just a few coughs and awkward clapping from the audience. Yes Steve, it can do youtube, music, movies, maps etc... but so can every other computer in the world. No revolution here, and revolution is what everyone wanted, even expected. I'd like something like this... it's just that I wanted more than this, much much more. I would like something so powerfult that I can plug in my HD camcorder and save all my footage, gigabytes worth, edit it and then upload it. I want to be doing this while sitting in the garden with my dog rather than tied to a desk. It's a pretty looking thing... give me one free and that'd be nice, otherwise I probably won't be getting one.

It's pretty much as bad as iPad; perhaps even worse. I think it’s important to remember, also, that Kindle is a terrible name as well. It’s pretty much as bad as iPad; perhaps even worse.
