    From what I have read it is not exactly a computer/laptop, but more of a multimedia device to use around the house.

    I want to see one in action because it looks like a huge ipod touch!

    You know, that thing would be a whole lot cooler if it wasn't an oversized iPhone. I mean come on, it's running the same operating system as the iPhone, doesn't have a camera, can't multi-task, doesn't have support for Flash, and you can't even write on it, you have to use the touch keypad. Sorry, I just think apple gets way too much credit for their products that are way overpriced.

    I was just wondering that, can it be used just like a laptop? I don't play games, but watch dvds? burn cds? I guess I'll have to do some reading.

    From what I understand it can't do any of that. If you want to watch a movie on it, you have to store the movie file on it like you would an iPod.

    if you go to the tech specs on the apple page, they state the processor:
    although its not a complete "laptop" it is better than a few of the netbooks that are out now. it is powered by a 1GHz Apple A4 custom-designed, high-performance, low-power system-on-a-chip
