well, it has happened...the rumors are true.

seriously, the pictures say a lot from the engadget post.  i am really amazed/impressed.  a few things that are interesting about it is that it doesn't support 3G and the touch screen.  I've had a few full touch-screen devices before and didn't like them.  my greasy face 'yucked' the screen up during calls, etc.

but c'mon...OSX on a device with iPod, with full browser, etc., etc.  this seems to be a well done v1 product.  this is what makes them win in these types of areas.  they took the free research and innovated.  when i say free research, i mean the feedback from all other devices from all the other vendors, etc.  as a contrast to zune for example -- i keep hearing zune is a 'good v1 device' -- what!?  it could've been better -- we had 5 years of free research with ipods and didn't take advantage of that in my opinion.  apple iphone seems to have taken advantage of (sans touch screen).
