From what perspective Rock ?

It was a fabulous pun on the name of the thing and Dav's revulsion.:D

Seriously though, it looks a bit odd to me. It's obviously a portable device but I'd be scared ****less that I'd drop it. It's just an Iphone on steroids. A bit pricey too.

Could be the rolladex of the modern age.

I can't imagine that this would appeal to the masses (famous last words?).

This was a spoof a few months back no?

Apple have trademarked the name "islate" already though.

What do ya do with it though? Hold it and work it with your thumbs or sit it down on your lap or a table?

Looks like you will need to open a new screen to enter text I wonder how much of a pain that will be. As an interface I can see it's uses but as the actual computer itself I think you'll need some extra input devices.
