You bet it will. Given his reaction, I reckon Stephen Fry would have one if it cost 10x the price. I'm surprised he didn't break his Twitter exile to wax lyrical about it (or maybe he did).

Breakfast is covered - thanks to the keyboard dock. Not so good in bed though.

In that case, they missed a trick - or did they? Why, oh why, didn't they integrate an SD card slot. It's not like it'll take much room, or weight. But oh no, you have to buy a camera accessory pack for that privilege.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted, but a lightweight laptop would suit me much better. Steve Jobs has a point about the current generation of Netbooks, but the future - who knows.

I think they should have called it the iMarmite. Seems to fit the bill quite nicely.
