Two words for the same thing?

You say either and I say either,
You say neither and I say neither
Either, either
Neither, neither,
Let's call the whole thing off.

Ultra-portable Apple notebook to splash down at Macworld Expo

You like potato and I like potahto,
You like tomato and I like tomahto
Potato, potahto,
Tomato, tomahto,
Let's call the whole thing off

Apple Tablet PC is real, says Asus

But oh, if we call the whole thing off
Then we must part
And oh, if we ever part, then that might break my heart

Steve Jobs, 10 months ago:

Are you getting it? These are not ... separate devices. This is one device!

Hmm. Well, it's just a thought the Macalope had in the wee hours of the night as the nymphs kept him awake with their incessant dancing.

Stupid nymphs.

[STrRedWolf]

Nymphs... how to deal with 'em.

I had them for a while. I then took a tip from the Two Thousand Year Old Man and started eating garlic before bed. They split after a week and haven't bothered me since.

And is it a Coincidence?

That Asus just released a (highly-regarded) micro PC?

(No.)

re: Two words for the same thing?

You know, I've been thinking the exact. Same. Thing.

[Bergamot Orange]

How does that work?

The tablet is basically a big iPhone, with a large screen that's good for watching movies and web-browsing.

The ultra-portable is basically a small MacBook, lacking optical and possibly hard drive to cut down on weight and thickness.

There is no magical point in the middle where these two product lines meet.

[Macalope]

Oh, right...

Just as there was no way Apple could make a phone with one button.

The idea's just a thought but even so there are already laptops that swivel
the lid around to make a tablet. Apple's able to produce something better
than that, though.

make that *three* things...

An ultra-portable notebook, a tablet computer, and a Kindle-killing ebook reader.

An ultra-portable notebook, a tablet computer, and a Kindle-killing ebook reader.

Are you getting it?

[STrRedWolf]

One button phone

Hmmm... *looks at front via website pics and the keynote* One (home button)... *looks at top* Two (sleep/wake)... *looks at sides* Three (ringer mute) Four (Vol up) Five (Vol Down).

[STrRedWolf]

Oh, lets we forget the Zaurus and those penguins.

"And shall the iPhone and the MacBook never meet, for it hasn't been done."

*pulls out his built-on-Linux Sharp Zaurus C-1000* It's been done. Oh, and it's next to latest in the long line of Zauruses that merge tablet and laptop. The first was the C600-series, followed by the C700 series, C800 series, C3000, C3100, C1000, and C3200.

The only problem is, you have to import 'em from Japan.
