I'm too lazy to give my opinions here, since I did it in the tech thread, so I'll just copy and paste what I said there into this one...
I didn't write this, someone form another forum I talk on did, but he summed up my thoughts on it perfectly, so I;ll just copy and paste it...

Pretty much. I, too, think Apples are more form over function for the most part. They're not necessarily bad products, but they're also not tremendously great products. The big X-factor is the fact that all Apple products cost twice as much as their competitors yet their cheaper competitors can do as much if not more than them, but people still treat Apple products like it's money well spent. It isn't.
I'd like a Power Mac G5 for video editing because they are, sadly, a better computer for video/film editing. But you know what? A PC can still get the job done, and I'm not about to fork over $5,000+ for a video editing system when I can get a comparable, if not better version of it, for $3,000.
This thing is the same way in relation to netbooks and/or the Kindle
Oh, and then there's this quote form Steve Jobs...

Wow. Awesome. I've bene waiting for a device that can do this fucking shit. I'm sick and fucking tired of these god damn clouds on my desktop, when the fuck does this thing come out again?
Also, and this is wonderfuly spectacular.... like the iPhone, this thing can't recognize flash. So you're apparently going to get the best web experience of your life by experiencing the web without one of the most important features of the internet. Awesome.
So yeah... no flash on this awesome awesome awesome piece of technological greatness

It's like the iphone. The iPhone has a YouTube app, but you can't browse YouTube's webpage via the browser as I understand it, only through the application.
Some might think "Well, that's cool, I mean what else would I use flash for?"
Well, a lot of websites use flash as their menu navigation, you won't be able to play 90% of online flash games anymore, you won't be able to see really awesome websites that utilize flash to make their website unique, and let's be honest here, the coolest websites you see on the internet are flash based. Even though they may not be ideal for a full website, unique websites that go viral, i.e. Subservient Chicken and the like, all utilize flash.
Kiss those goodbye.
