I remember going to a demo showing that Apple threw (no pun intended) before
the Emate became available. To make a long story short, they literally
threw the <working> demo unit across the room, approx. 15 feet. The guy
then picked it up, picked up the stylus that popped out, turned the unit on,
watched it reset (guess the throw woke it up), and he started writing away.
It worked perfectly. I was most impressed. At the time I was wondering how
many school kids would be using these new tools to bash each other over the
heads with.
Pretty cool.

I dropped my eMate once. Hard. Fell off a table, onto a tile floor. Made
a LOUD crashing sound. But there was no damage whatsoever.
