English term or phrase: Are you getting it?
Hi all,
I'm translating a presentation made by an Apple manager in which he explains the revolutionary iPhone.
He says "A widescreen iPod with touch controls, a revolutionary mobile phone, a breakthrough Internet communications device. Are you getting it?"

I think it could be "Siete pronti?" But I'm not sure.

Thank you all!!

agree  Fabiana Papastefani-Pezzoni: Giusto! A parte che non mi piace la domanda per come è messa (dal punto di vista di polteness), ma durante una presentazione non molto formale o training io mi rivolgerei così al gruppo. Mai e poi mai "avete capito, ci siete, etc". Azzeccato

mi seguite?


Explanation:
In questo caso direi che la domanda e' retorica.
Lo "speaker" ha gia' dato tutti i dettagli del caso e sa bene che gli ascolatori lo capiscono ma vuole enfatizzare la novita', he/she wants them to see his vision about the product (scusate ma mi viene meglio in inglese), vuole sottolineare il fatto che il suo prodotto e' di un livello superiore alla concorrenza.
