Well I got an in person demo reservation for next week.

Can't buy it any time soon, but I very much want to.

They just moved the date up on my shipment and I have a spot to try it out in-store today. Pretty excited for this. I’ve owned ever major headset before and this is the one I’m most excited about because of the spatial abilities and the crossovers in the ecosystem. My main use case is movies and media so I can’t wait to create content for this thing.

I really want to build out apps for it. I'm also really into actually having sufficient resolution to have virtual displays that can actually have a meaningful amount of text on them without being a trainwreck.

Same. Being able to have essentially iPad app windows anywhere spacially is awesome. I can’t wait for the update/future version that allows Mac apps the same.

I haven't looked, but I wonder if you'll be able to connect a Bluetooth mouse to it. All the cursor support they added to the iPad is really nice, and being able to pop up a Remote Desktop app in a window while doing whatever other shit would be really cool, too.

You’re able to connect an external keyboard and mouse. I’ll test it out and report back how it works.

Edit: it seems you can’t connect a mouse. It has to be the Magic Trackpad.

I’ll probably create a pinned post for questions the community has about the device. From there, I’ll answer as many as I can.

Awesome. I'm super jealous of you.

I think I read somewhere that you can but it’s a touch cursor and not a pointer

Its a magical experience. As you bring the hood down, don’t be troubled by the nagging suspicion that you look like an entitled asshole cocooning yourself into a digital box, facetuning reality, selling off ever more of your senses to the thrumming machine of progress. Be proud of your role in building the new reality, a better place, a cleaner more perfect space. The weather is beautiful in here, and so are you. Thank you Apple. Thank you for loving me so.
