More news on this perhaps?

I wonder if this will be out by Christmas

[Mr Kleen]

from what I've been reading any Apple Tablet won't be out until sometime next year. but I'm keeping an eye out...

I'm actually holding off on getting a netbook to see how this turns out. From what I've read its going to run the mobile version of OS X (iPhone/iTouch OS). If Adobe and Apple decide to kiss and make up, and release Flash in 2Q10, I'd be hard for me to say no. Unless it costs $$Apple, then it'll be easy.

am i the only one who doesn't think an apple tablet is a good idea?

i'm honestly not sure what the exact market is or how useful it will be.

but i'm sure there will be posts in my future either touting how zomgz the new appl tablet is, or how i caved and bought it because it was shiny and pretty.

Quoted for prosperity and so I can recall it when Colin buys one on opening day

how i caved and bought it because it was shiny and pretty.

You're male, genetically wired to be attracted to shiny and pretty.

i'm honestly not sold on the concept yet. it will require some serious convincing. to me it seems too early and a product without a market.

(i do appreciate the quotes though, lol!)

Apple exec: Jobs "happy" with unannounced Apple tablet

[Mr Kleen]

One Apple employee who recently left the company also told the Times that the interface won't be anything expected. "You will be very surprised how you interact with the new tablet," the former employee said.

knowing Apple's pricing it won't be an impulse buy but I'm looking forward to trying to justify the purchase.
