I'm a little peeved that they used a modified version of Quake. The openGL was not part of the original game with all it's fancy "textures."

Actually, glquake was released with quake or at least soon after, I remember running it with my bleeding-edge Pentium 2 266Mhz cpu and 3dfx Voodoo card. With that and my 50kbps cablemodem, I ruled glquakeworld!


ACTUALLY, Quake was released to the public on June 22, 1996 and the OpenGL version wasn't released for more than six months later on January 22, 1997. While all my gradeschool buddies were focused on their SNES I was tagging along with my dad to computer shows (this was long before newegg) and saving up for my first 3dfx card. That was back in the good old days where you had to use a dongle cable just to run your 2D card to your 3D card and only THEN did it find its way to the monitor. Ahhh good times...

Get ur facts straight son!

For those Americans who didn't get the reference, Orange is a wireless carrier in Europe, like Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, etc.

Apple does like to switch dongles pretty often. Seems they've finally settled on Mini-DisplayPort. Problem is they charge $29 for them.

ant, banana would not fit into the double-entendre theme because it doesn't actually mean anything when it comes to computers or electronics.

Hilarious!! No Palm? Dongle should had been a banana.

meh is right. This product is completely underwhelming. Netbook manufacturers have little to worry about. As much as Apple might think that A4 processor is powerful, it is significantly handicapped by the OS and APIs Apple has implemented.

I honestly thought Apple was going to do some interesting take on the Tablet PC concept, and instead they are producing another locked-down gadget that ultimately resembles trash more than a computing experience. The lack of USB connectivity without dongles, a proprietary SIM card design, still no hope of Flash, no camera, a flawed keyboard design... the list is long.

Granted, I would not be surprised if it sold well, knowing how dedicated some Apple users can be.

XGA screen resolution. Dongles dangling from the side. Cannot multitask (!). No Flash support (!!). "Extraordinary" indeed.
Even without any expectation to start with, I have to say this is, as dag said, very underwhelming.

PS: Someone is not losing their time.

*NSFW for the dongle.

Ack! I saw a dongle.

Jimmy dongle wing wang! Heh.

For that westy, I take back everything I ever said about your spelling.
