Kind of, but who cares if you can get it for the same price? Why get the lemon introduced too soon and which will have to be upgraded a few months later? Maybe your wife or kids will someday be interested in watching another HDMI movie than you. If anybody can provide me a tablet with an i7 cpu with 12 hour battery life for $500, I won't complain it's overkil, I'll just grab it. Same goes for the Tegra2 (NVIDIA) and SnapDragon (Quallcom) based computers that will appear on the market in March/April. Those won't be rushed to the market CPUs. They will be the real thing. Inquire about the Cortex-A9 MPcore CPUs at Wikipedia. It will provide a vision of what Apple's A4 should really look like.
