Apple Tablet: Will it be Tomorrow?

A guess at how the tablet device might look.

Apple, as you may know are hosting a press conference in cupertino, California, tomorrow and they are supposedly releasing a new product: their famed ‘Apple Tablet’.

But still details about this apparent mythical device are unknown. New York Times calls for a tablet with ‘iPhone App’ compatibility and a screen roughly double the size of the iPhone. Other people seem to think it has a CD drive, and runs simplistic applications – without multitasking.

Then there’s the claim it’s 13″ – and it boasts a large screen running a completely custom OS, one that we’ve never seen before. And it’s going to be something completely game-changing to run hand-in-hand with the release of ‘iPhone OS 4.0′. Not only that, they claim this magical machine will somehow be paper-thin and have superior stats to even their Macbook range.

There’s so much flying about, but what if the rumour of it being an oversized iPhone is true? Apple have been long-since credited with innovation, so if it is really something like an oversized iPhone that runs apps one-at-a-time, then it’s nothing innovative. It’s little more than a large copy of their old project, and that is something that’s pretty disgraceful.

But yeah, the Apple press conference could be something we’ve never seen before, but it could also be something completely disappointing. We’ll just really have to wait and see.

Apple’s iTunes: Becoming Web-based?

According to the New York times, Apple have acquired online music streaming and purchase website lala – a move which one could state is implying Apple’s move to the web and possible ‘cloud’ interface for iTunes.

New York Times states:

Lala, unlike Apple’s iTunes, lets users play the music they own from the Web — or in tech industry parlance, from the cloud. If Apple introduces its own cloud-based streaming music service, it would let people skip having to download music they buy or synchronize their music collection between their computers and mobile devices.

Apple’s acquisition is definitely one that could spark interest into how it will deal with iTunes – especially with complaints on the iPhone requiring a computer to download content – no smartphone should require a computer!

We’ll have to watch and see what Apple do next.

image Apart from the Tablet PC, Apple have announced the new ranges of their iPod line, following a price-cut earlier on today. There’s also a new version of iTunes, iTunes 9 – not too long after iTunes 8 just 7 months ago.

The new iPod Nano, as expected, comes with a camera. But better than before, this camera comes with video-filming – a feature that wasn’t even available on the iPhone.

Here’s our brief summary of the new stuff:
