Ahhhh Mac, staying true to the charging-consumers-way-too-much-for-way-too-little business model. I guess it works, considering they are the most valuable company in the entire world. A $3500 over-power tablet is retarded.

Ahh I got confused because it is literally a 13" MacBook, but this company just took it and chopped the keyboard and CD drive off, gave it a touch screen, and doubled the price. I think it's interesting that Apple allowed this company to make these.

They've been featured in Macworld .. for some reason Jobs never went after them.

Jobs is gone now....unless they've associated with Apple in some way (maybe a hidden subsidiary?), they're fair game for Apple's legal team...

The only thing I can find on Modbook, Inc. is it is a privately owned company that does development work for Apple. I would assume they have Apple's blessing with this otherwise we will be hearing about another lawsuit shortly.

Yeah I know that, I was referring to their Macworld appearance(s). They were there in 2007 .. Right under Steve's nose.

they most likely have a 'blessing', if not a subsidiary/sister company, of apple. Apple sues even non-tech/IT related stores brand/stores that has the littlest of hints of apple, so it would be a surprise if Apple won't sue them if they are not in any way related to them.
