I think I have made it through..
Denial – it was a very crappy audio stream from the PR event, I probably missed the good stuff
Anger – it’s a f@#king ipod with no pen, no new gesture magic, no camera and a shitty single thread OS! It’s not even a good replacement for the 5 year old G4 powerbook I use to surf the web when watching TV!
Bargaining – but it’s only $499, perhaps it’s a good trade off, I don’t do serious work as I watch the TV, some facebook, some reading, some email.. and if I want to watch a youtube video I can always open my old powerbook.. SHIT!
Depression – I was finally going to get a tablet computer; powerful, capable, new input paradigms, how could the Apple product marketing gods screw this up so bad?
Acceptance – oh well; it’s the prettiest netbook in the world and will be a massive hit. I’ll just squeeze another year of life out of the powerbook. I hear version 2 will have a camera, hand writing recognition and change the way we use computers!
