rumours abound about the new Apple offering, as mentioned in this article, it may be called 'islate' .
i am still considering the merits of a Kindle (amazon) but also as stated, the availability of titles perturbs me.
recent airline troubles also give me pause about purchasing such a machine because on of the biggest reasons for buying it is to travel with in lieu of a dozen or so paper books and then reading whilst in said transit. so, hmmmmm.
will look for news about apple's newest machine as it becomes available.
oh, and in other gripes, my beloved apple has a big character flaw! we here in canada are always getting the short end of the stick, this is a long time reality and well, one must live with it. but this goes beyond just denying us cool services or options on itunes. now it seems that apple is playing with our money. itunes gift cards. a great way for teens and trying to be responsible adults to buy music, videos and ebooks off of their itunes website. iphone and ipod touch apps too would be a natural assumption and alas, never has it been made evident that our itunes cards are different than those sold in the US so, why would anyone think so? turns out, itunes cards in canada only can be used to purchase music, ebooks and video content (films, tv series, ...) and NOT APPS as was their original purpose. i don't buy much music online as i'm happy with what i already have and can procure from elsewhere! so i feel misled and like i've been victim to some sort of false advertising! arggg. Apple i'm disappointed.
