If you watch the original iPhone release video, Steve Jobs talks about combining a phone, iPod, and Internet connected device together into one thing. The crowd cheered at the first two items, but had no real idea why the third item was such a big deal.

I imagine that Apple is experimenting in the space where VR and AR can be mobile. I don't think they fully understand what a good mobile AR experience should be, but the iPod didn't launch with an app store.

    Except this device is hardly mobile and it's clearly made to be used stationary.

    The device can be used mobile and I've seen several reviewers using the device while walking around in a public setting. It looks dumb, but you can do it.

    I also think Apple is being conservative in what gets shown while walking because Apple doesn't want its customers to walk in traffic. However, I expect that to change as Apple gets a better handle on walking distractions.

    In their demo video, they show someone working in the kitchen and my visceral reaction was "oh hell no". I just can't see any real world, regular use for this thing still. I am happy to be proven wrong though.

    I'm not sure, I took that to mean a competitor to Palm, which was pretty popular among a niche segment of the population. Although data plans via 3G kinda sucked back then and most Palm users I knew were constantly trying to connect to wifi.
