Fire.
The wheel. And now, finally, the iSlate. Walter Mosspuppet, the only
tech journalist in the world, gives us an exclusive
first look at what the world is anticipating this week.
The
new device is similar to a unibody MacBook Pro in appearance. In
Walter's words, “It's like a brushed aluminum orgasm.” The
mystery is over about the operating system as well, as Walter
reports,“The
iSlate runs a greatly enhanced version of the iPhone OS, which is a
crippled version of Mac OS X, and it’s gorgeous.”
But
with all the hype that has led up to the announcement, can any device
avoid being a disappointment? Walter says the answer is a resounding
yes! “This device is everything you’ve been waiting for, but so
much more. There’s a sophisticated AI in here that knows which user
is holding it, so if you hand it off to a family member, it switches
user accounts AND starts making them coffee. There’s even a button
in one of the menus that if you press it—I have no idea how this
works—a unicorn comes to your door with your favorite kind of
pizza.”
But
how useful is it? Is this just the latest whiz-bang gadget that
you'll show off a few times and then toss aside? Not according to
Mosspuppet. “Buy five. Put one in every pair of pants that you own.”
It's rare that a new piece of technology lives up to expectations, but clearly this one is a hit. Check out the video below.
