I wonder what is the spec, if apple used the same parts as all netbook than it is is WAY OVERPRICE.

It will have the apple tax, so it's not for me...

It's probably Atom N280 powered, or perhaps the next version Atom with on-chip GPU & memory controller.
Price would only be justified if it was the next version. Otherwise, without keyboard the device should cost around $299 if it has the standard 1024x600 screen reso.

Cool part it's like a giant iPod Touch... it will have multi-touch and will hopefully last in the 10hrs battery life, I'm just curious about the OS and the final price...

It's a tablet. It's a mac. It's an iPod. It's an Internet Communication Device!

I already know this is a lie....they said it will cost only $800. Mac would start this at at least $1100 to $1200.

WOW... I thought the entire purpose of the eee netbook was to be a cheap and durable (and maybe disposable) tool to do basic computing tasks such as accessing networks like the internet for light tasks... this completely defeats the purpose of the netbook.

I could get a quad core laptop for $800 by the time this thing goes on sale.

And btw, I read this same stuff on OCC like 4 hours ago hehe, guess that's where Jane got this

Sounds like another false rumor, after all this thing have been rumored for years.
