[edit] Spelling

Technically, Axiotron bi-capitalizes it...ModBook, not Modbook. --Jason C.K. 00:57, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] introduced Vs Released.

Does anyone know if this is available for the general public? If it isn't, it hasn't been released, just introduced.

And thank you, The Talking Mac, for being insulting. Madd the sane 01:36, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Looking at Axiotron's man web page, it says that the ModBook will ship April 2007, meaning it is indeed a future product Madd the sane 01:36, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Well... looks like it's soon a year since we first expected it... and the unclear information policy makes some parallels to well know vaporware.

[edit] It seems a bit like an advert

Just throwing this out there, but this seems to be written like an advert. I don't really think it needed to have the Faster, Fastest, etc and the ™ symbols. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CreepyMan (talk • contribs) 00:23, 25 June 2007

I agree. I'll see if I can clean that up. 128.158.145.51 14:57, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Free use pic

It seems this photo is released under CC Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 which means we can use it? Confirm this. --RaviC 17:29, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Actually, this one may be better. --RaviC 17:32, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

The CC-NC-SA licenses are incompatible with the GFDL, so they can still only be used under the fair use guidelines. That said, they don't seem likely to stand. You might contact the author and just ask if they'd be willing to release 'em into the public domain or dual-license them under the GFDL. Probably wouldn't be a big deal, MrZaius^talk 00:05, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] apple authorized

Does it matter if it is authorized by Apple? Should we add this info in the article? At least one [1] news source says it is Apple authorized. Kushal^t 02:41, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Now shipping

There is an order button on the site now [2], so perhaps the "Vaporware" stuff could be dropped? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.90.183.91 (talk) 09:03, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

I've been bold and removed it. I think that as it's shipping and as they had a large presence at MacWorld it's unfair to say it's 'vaporware' - it's either been release or about to be. At the very least it's actively being developed on and promoted. EAi (talk) 03:21, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
