So I finally got my hands on this thing and all I gotta say is Wow! The screen is simply amazing it's so crisp and bright. It's quite snappy and all around a spectacular notebook. I've even got XP installed through VMWare Fusion so I can run mIRC again after all these years.

I'd like to start by building an app for Hawkee. Maybe something similar to the Facebook app where you can check your friends' activities and notices. It really depends on how much time it will cost me though and what other projects I have in front of it.

That post makes a good case for building apps that have long term value, so that really supports my idea to do a Hawkee app.

Just ordered myself one of these. Can't wait to get it and start building some iPhone apps.

Nice, you have any ideas for apps yet?

I just found this on Gizmodo and thought it was interesting: The Life of an iPhone App: Nasty, Brutish and Short

It's well worth it, and I don't think I could live with any other computer. I made the switch 4 years ago and I've got no plans to go back whatsoever. Also, never had a problem getting applications that do exactly what I want. OS X is a very well supported operating system.

$500 off on this at TigerDirect, pretty good deal. (The Amazon listing is TigerDirect as well)

Well I have had mixed results. The 1st IQ506 I got was crap. I had system recoveries and OS lock ups continuously. I also lost the touchscreen completely and the Keyboard LED light was intermittent. I called HP they swore the PC was bulletproof. Well after working with the techs at HP I finally said enough and exchanged the PC. The nmew one appears to be working fine, time will tell. I did see the DVD comments and will be checking that immediately. WHile I feel there are some serious QUALITY issues with all HP products (I also got a lemon laptop from them) I do think this PC is a very nice and unique layout. I would hope that for the $1500+ per unit HP will put some serious minds behind correcting and flaws. After working On PC hardware now for years both in the build and repair areas I felt the PC problem APPEARED (my opinion) to be a power related issue. The faulty one I had appeared to be having intermittent failures throughout the system. In my experience this is usually power supply related. I cannot confirm this as I am not paid to fix HP's PCs for them ;) I would bet that a larger and more robust power supply may correct these "lemons". Take care and good luck!

Really tempted to get one of these. I've got a 17" Powerbook G4 that's getting a tad slow right now, so a core 2 duo would do me good.
