Like a previous person posted, I am bothered by all of the patents. Software patents don't mix with me very well. However, I wonder what Apple is going to do about this:

It runs Linux and, from what I read, it's going to have an apt-get sort of system. The downsides:
Very little hard drive space compared to iPhone
No support for providers using CDMA ( Sprint, I'm looking at you )
Pricey. What the hell are they thinking?
So far, those are my only problems with it. I couldn't care less about Apple's patented "pinching" of the screen or the automatic landscape detection.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
