    I just hope that is runs Mac OS X and not the iphone OS.
  • Albertkinng · 3 months ago
    me too! a full Mac OS X will be my first wish!

    "What could be easier than one big button?"
  • Name · 3 months ago
    rather than pressing a button, why not just think of pressing it

    OMG..very cool

    Great News! But is it just a bigger iPhone or a totally package?
  • Wayne Smallman · 4 months ago
    I've never been a fan of the Kindle. It's hugely expensive for what it is. I'm still not sure why someone would buy a Kindle. But if Apple can get within $80-$90 of their price tag, Apple will clean up.

    You sound retarded.
  • Derrick · 3 months ago
    He might sound retarded, you just are.
  • Guest · 3 months ago
    Ya, it does that too, but this thing is far more than a Kindle replacement.
  • Albertkinng · 3 months ago
    is he for real?
  • Eric Van Meter · 4 months ago
    I wouldn't call that a tablet just because it has a touch-sensitive screen. Would love it if Apple did come out with a true tablet though -- have been jonesing for one for a while!
  • jdawkinsatl · 4 months ago
    Quick thought: I'm guessing OSX (or slight variation) with a few custom apps that attract kindle and netbook users. All is fairly predictable but there will be a few things we won't count on.
  • huyuk · 4 months ago
    yeah... this will be another great rally for apple earnings!!! i will buy one of this for sure... the iphone start to be too little to stay all the day looking things...
  • charles-antoine · 4 months ago
    Wait and see ...
  • Ryan Haylett · 4 months ago
    Why the lack of an actual keyboard on all of these mock ups? This would be the perfect notebook for graphic designers if it's done properly. I'm just hoping for a macbook pro with a swivel screen just like all other tablets, not an oversized ipod touch.
  • caleblargo · 3 months ago
    that would be awesome! no need for expensive drawing tablets, and you could just flip it back to a regular laptop! but oh well! don't think they're putting a keyboard on it :(
  • Stephanie · 2 months ago
    They already have those. HP, amongst other brands, makes a WACOM specific tablet for faaar less than the 2 thouuusand plus dollars Apple wants to extort from buyers. Got mine for 950, to be specific. And theirs can't even run Photoshop.
  • chris · 4 months ago
    We´ll see what comes up. Could be used as an expensive Graphic Tablet ;)
  • kevinn · 4 months ago
    A Cintiq alternative.
  • Steve · 4 months ago
    The design is so cool! Apple is always a step ahead in terms of innovation!!

  • diablo · 4 months ago
    Except those aren't official Apple designs.
  • LL · 4 months ago
    well, in addition to the touch´s wireless connectivity I think that 3G/4G support will be key.
  • roche · 4 months ago
    OMG!!! We will see what comes up.......very cool huh!
  • Nos · 4 months ago
    That actually looks quiet sexy. If apple does release said product, it will surely sell between price range $400-500
  • Stephanie · 2 months ago
    yeah. and 32% of that is pure profit for Apple. Greedy bastards.
  • Joshua Parker · 4 months ago
    Wow, those are great markups. If Apple does come out with a netbook/tablet in September, I will definitely be buying one.
  • Enk. · 4 months ago
    Looks great !
  • indieGIRL96 · 4 months ago
    I seriously hope that this will rock. kind of sad though. Just got my MacBook Pro....):
  • Charly · 4 months ago
    cool, very nice device
  • Jonathan Rhodes · 4 months ago
    Imagine trying to keep that clean!! It's bad enough trying to keep the screen on my iPhone clean!
  • dean collins · 4 months ago
    i wonder how responsive and fast the virtual keyboard will be?

    i've been wanting something like this for chatting while watching baseball games on http://www.LiveBaseballChat.com
  • niubi · 4 months ago
    That is a really beautiful device! Not been a huge fan of Apple products in the past, but the Tablet may well change that for me. Does anyone know if DubLi will stock it?
  • ddadm09 · 4 months ago
    I am a great fan of apple product so started collecting all the information (more than 200 sites) about Apple Tablet(News, Videos, Pics, Pre reviews, Rumors etc.,). If you are interested take a look at the below link

  • Ian Conrad · 4 months ago
    Definitely a neat concept. Can see it having a market, if the Air does, then definitely plausible.

    One thing though, i don't think it'd really compete against the Kindle, the epaper technology is a big part of it's appeal.
  • AMansLife · 4 months ago
    THIS LOOKS PRETTY AMAZING!

    Personally, the biggest story around the Tablet is how it forces Apple to define its "matrix" thinking between hardware form factors and software forking decisions (e.g., iPhone OS, Mac OS, hybrid OS, download anything anywhere, exclusively limit to App Store), not to mention the service layer and developer tool inter-connects between same.

    It's the device that will spotlight their uber computing vision moving forward, a topic that I blogged about in:

    Apple, the ‘Boomer’ Tablet and the Matrix

    Check it out, if interested.

    Best thing for Apple would be to get into the tablet business.

  • Dom · 3 months ago
    but it runs mac OS X which is something the tablet doesnt have, its a touch screen mac basicly
  • Lc · 3 months ago
    10ichs Wow, I can't wait until it comes out I've been waiting for something cool and small like this with all the things as my laptop that I don't like to carry all the time. And you will be able to read and buy books if that's the case I hope it a audio voice for the books, Internet, Music,Books web,pdf,ect... I'm all in on this.
  • Rafe Karen · 3 months ago
    if apple can get this out then it will be one of if not their most remarkable product to date

    any news on if this is going to be as advertised on this page?
  • Wahyu · 3 months ago
    hope it will more complete as a computer and phone in one device, with Mac OS X and iPhone OS combined will bring a new era of powerful gadget.......
  • imaxpower · 3 months ago
    This is will be great if we can get this around Christmas
  • names987654 · 3 months ago
    i liked it better when it was calld "HP Mistro" =[[
  • carl smart · 3 months ago
    nice idea!
  • mclorenz · 3 months ago
    looks great! Schould you buy the new iPod Touch (launched on 9th September) or that Tablet Macbook?
  • David · 3 months ago
    This would be perfect for the clients I deal with: contractors. Most of them use PC Tablets in the field and there is NOT a good one on the market that is stable. The programs they mainly use for estimating are Excel and Word, so a touch-screen mac would be awesome! The PC Tablets save contractors time but the hardware is expensive and breaks down a lot!!!

  • donnag105 · 3 months ago
    If affordable as netbooks, these things would seriously skyrocket. Sadly, they will likely be expensive and will skyrocket only for the rich.
  • aguilazo · 2 months ago
    Ok...Once again. Here we go...I am read to replace my new laptop. Let's do it : )
  • Bill Westerman · 2 months ago
    This is not the Apple tablet that you are looking for. Going out on a (short) limb here and making some realistic guesses as to what the Great Tablet will (or won’t) have: http://bit.ly/10TD6X (non-commercial blog, no ads)
  • Name · 2 months ago
    IF! that tablet folds like the picture which I know is a "thought of what it might be" then I am sold! sold! sold!

    Apple FTW!
