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.
