Crazy that they aren't live streaming video when the first thing out of the gate is a comment "and we made a video of this store.."

$99, available next week, can pre-order today.. sites differ on how long it took to start a 1080P movie.. from 10 seconds (engadget) to 15 seconds (ar) but either way that's a big stall to start a flick, which assumes it's streaming only and buffers all.

Confirmed a resolution of 2048 x 1536. That is a stunning, stunning processing achievement. Moves this to the "will buy out of the gate" field.
