No, but it seems incredible.

How does one get that kind of speed when (I assume) you access this service via the Internet.

Someone please give it a go and let us know. How about Amir since he is (was) Mr. Microsoft!

I thought some of it was how they cropped images etc to the size of a tablet, eliminating useless data. But obviously it's more than that.

Hi

I find the technology impressive. .. What the iPad becomes is almost a screen.. Processing is done in the "farm" and your results are more a function of the "farm" speed (potentially immense) and processing than your iPad (very limited)... If they crop the video and perform some compression on it they may create an impression of much higher speed than your actual connection. I don't know if it would be the number they quoted ut it can be impressive indeed..
My main beef with the product : Why would I destroy the superb, intuitive and sophisticated UI of an iPad with the clumsy ugly windows one?

No, not there yet; but it seems truly avant-garde, and I want in! :b

I agree with Frantz, why go Windows when the iPad is all about its UI and OS, unless you are a devote Windows person and want the best tablet out there?

Also, as a GYN, where exactly is your "heard" located? LOL

Why is it that that Windows is stuck with their design?
Why are they not improving so they are competitive with today's fast access & screen navigation?
The iPad is soooooooo much nicer looking and sexier.
