        Hmmm... if you can't run Einstein on it directly we might be able to run a Newton via airport remotely at least. :D

Interesting mock-ups!
I think that this is a possible tie-in to their Airport Express package -
control audio and video anywhere in the house, control your laptop/desktop
remotely, tie-into Front Row and presentation apps.

Of course, this does not preclude some sort of PDA. Look at the Nokia
internet tablet. It was meant as a way to browse the net, but PIM apps have
been ported over to it. Now if Einstein worked on this puppy (the apple
pad)....hmmmm pretty cool!
