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

been ported over to it. Now if Einstein worked on this puppy (the apple
pad)....hmmmm pretty cool!
