One bummer: Still no sign of Monmouth making the cut into Adobe's
best pricing tier.

But until we get in, which should be soon, you can get the mid tier
discount and get the Production Premium pack for as cheap as $449.
Once we are in the program it would be as cheap as $299.

Look how simple the guts of an iPad really are

Not much room to strip things down to reduce cost. It's a shell on
the outside, a nice display up front and two big honking batteries in
the middle. The space taken up by the actual 'computer' is 3/4 WIFI
support and 1/4 CPU. Brilliant.

For the record, I couldn't wait for my 3G iPad pre-order to get here
in about a month so I went to Menlo Park on Saturday and got a 32GB
Wifi model. Will discuss it tomorrow night!

I'm not much into comics but this is awesome, I bought $16 worth of
comic books just to show it off:
