   Would certainly be an interesting device. I'm not sure I can stand two years of rumors and commentary on what it might or might not be though.

     @dennyhenke I agree it will be. a very niche product, if it even makes it to market.

     As for the Gurman's newsletter, I'll miss it a bit, but every Mac publication regurgitates everything anyway, so any salient info won't take too long to surface.

     But lord help us on the avalanche of rumors on this new rumor.

     @WarnerCrocker As of January his newsletter goes paid only, I won't pay for it. No doubt, all the big-name pundits will and we'll have to listen to them go on and on about it. Yuck.

     I love the iPad because it's durable. A foldable form factor just seems to add a possible breakpoint. Benefit is it fits in a pocket or, if larger, a huge screen can be folded to fit a backpack? But, realistically, who's going to buy that given the weight? Seems like a very niche product.
