ModBook or iPad?
Well, the new iPad has been revealed. I'm not all that excited. For $500-$830 you get, well, a big-ass iPod touch with 3G.
I could do better by just taking my existing white polycarb MacBook and have it converted into a ModBook for $630.
Here's a quick comparison:
| Feature | ModBook | iPad |
|---|---|---|
| Internal RAM | 2 gigs | Unknown, iPod touch has 128 meg |
| Storage Space | 160 gigs | up to 64 gigs |
| Screen Resolution | 1280x800 | 1024x768 |
| Multi-Touch | No | Yes |
| Operating System | Real OS X | Enhanced version of stripped-down version of OS X |
| Multitasking | Yes | No |
| Run Any App | Yes | No |
| Run iPod touch apps | I have an iPod touch for that | Yes |
| WiFi | Yes | Yes |
| GPS | Yes | Yes |
| 3G | No | Yes |
| Price | $630 | $500-$830 |
The ModBook looks pretty damn good. If anyone thinks of additional points of comparison, stick 'em in the comments and I'll add 'em to the table.
