I don't know what smugness you see in Apple regarding this because they haven't said anything about it. Regarding both Thurrott and Gruber, they both acted like fanboys today. There's nothing wrong with preferring a platform but it was more than a little thick. Thurrott was going back and forth with Apple fans in his tweets and Gruber made a post earlier calling the Samsung tablet an iPad 3 prototype while ragging on the fact it had a fan. Other Apple bloggers picked up on it and ran with it the whole day as a talking point. I prefer to wait and see what happens. There isn't any need for hasty judgements either way. No one knows what the final product will be like when it's actually released. The touch-centric part was amazing but there are questions of price (at least with Intel models with SSD's), weight, battery life and how well it performs under ARM processors. There are also questions of whether consumers will be interested in it.
