You are Mr. 2.0. I would say that if you look at the iPhone in particular, it really hasn't changed much except the software. So I don't think extras like a built in camera, iChat cam or any of that other stuff is going to get added. There is already a keyboard dock that you can get, so you can type a novel into Pages. Also, the iPhone and the iPod/Touch have eco systems that built up around them so I expect a lot of stuff could be piled on the iPad to make it do exactly what you want. You guys are hard on computers anyways. How about a computer, made of Al and glass, with no hinges and battery life beyond the two or so you get with a used powerbook? iPad.
If you look at the presentation SJ gave, one of the first things he pointed out was that the iPad could be used as the middle ground between an iPhone and a full computer. As far as capacitive vs. resistive (pressure sensitive) displays, the iPhone OS has some gestures (pinch/expand and the keyboard in particular) that rely on multitouch and they can only get that using capacitive technology. That said, I've heard that some enterprising souls are trying to overcome the fingernail problem with conductive polish. Another alternative would be to use a glove with a conductive stylus built into the first finger, which exist and are on sale now.
UPDATE: The G1 test went the whole week and there'll be an article soon. In the meanwhile, I will see about getting a Nexus One at some point.
John Carpenter's version was hated in its time, but, as you point out, is now a cult classic. I hear someone is doing a third version. Oh, well...
Better setup Wordpress SuperCache.
I was really referring to public lists. Some years ago, Bravo TV put out their 100 Funniest movies, only one of which was before 1960. Also, if exclude movies made before 1960 you're doing so at the expense of 50 or so years worth of movies. Some of which, I think we can agree, are bona fide classics.
Well, it was only a joke, really.
It may be a flop, but it's an interesting flop and while Fox had to do some serious retrenching they survived until they released "The Sound of Music" in 1965. I actually enjoy the movie and it DID make its production costs back for the studio.
