LOL….hehehhehehehehhehehehehhhheee.

Comment of the day…:)

It would definitely be an excellent educational tool. I see the way young children take to the iPhone and the iPod Touch. With the solidity of the App Store with all those developers on board and iTMS platform, there’s almost no way this tablet will be a failure. Those developers will certainly find ways to make the tablet a powerful educational tool in ways most people never imagined.

If Apple can offer a solid digital media platform to the school system, Apple could get back what it lost so many years ago. The tablet could be an end run around the desktop computer in education. Not for everything, but for say 80% of things.

“Overheard” …I always wonder. Overheard, where, and from whom? On the far end of the produce aisle at the grocery store?

Good reading: a TC article from this morning: The Apple Tablet rumors the other blogs are afraid to publish http://bit.ly/6Ykxjl

Only in theory. Multi-level traffic would be a bitch with the tech we have now. If you can imagine what an air controller station has to deal with at a busy airport, then multiply thousands of times with city traffic at rush hour. Unless each vehicle has some sort of high-speed avoidance mechanisms or fixed flying lanes I can’t see how it would manage all that multi-directional traffic.

I’m only looking at it from my narrow concept of how I envision a flying car and someone else may be able to see a simple solution.

What an awesome leader, and I think everyone is going to be blown away by the iPad. Steve is truly an inspiration to me.

wow, i can’t wait for tomorrow, i think this has a lot of potential

Everytime I think about a tablet device as a huge phone, it reminds me of the good old days of dudes walking down the street with their pants hanging down and the giant ghetto-blasters on their shoulders :) Imagine trying to hold it between your ear and shoulder while talking on it!

“Dicking around?” Right before the iPhone was introduced with a full browsing experience, people were saying that surfing the web on a cellphone was just “dicking around.” The iPhone pretty much changed that experience.

Before the iPod was used for “dicking around” there were all sorts of high-end audio receivers, Walkman cassette players, portable CD players and various mp3 players. Yet people actually thought that “dicking around” with an iPod was a different experience and that’s why they become popular.

“Dicking around” is sometimes just good enough to sell millions of products for those that like to merely do some “dicking around.”

This sounds like PR for raising interest to the product. I don’t think this will really be bigger than anything else they’ve done.

It will become his Segway!

Well, with the Mac, iPod, and iPhone, he was *right*. Each of those devices has turned out to be transformative. I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, and am eager to see what he pulls out of his hat next week.

you actualy think they come first?

I think that picture of Steve Jobs is a little outdated hmm?

The point is no Apple product is cheap. I can’t think of a single one that isn’t well above similarly spec’ed products.

I think we can expect handwriting and full speech input understanding anything anyone says without training.

I don’t see tablet being an educational tool for awhile. They need to have a decent textbook database.. And what they have right now cannot even remotely be called decent.
I am a college student and i constantly research the availability of textbooks online… But most of the ones i need can only be found in paper form only. And publishers are not in a hurry to publish any electronic copies…. Eventually they will have to, but by that time i will graduate.
So why would i buy the tablet for any educational purposes if it lacks the materials and textbooks i need????
Most likely i will buy it for use as a media device.

so am *I*

you don’t think Apple knows that?

Haha. Shit!

oh please, it is just a device. after i bought my iphone last year because of the hype, i found out the next day that it was just a phone. i was not going to use it as a pda because it was faster to jot a quick note in my moleskine ($10) notebook.
sold it on ebay after 2 months of fiddling around.

In the book about the lauch of the segway it is also told how Jobs suggested marketing plan for it was completely different than what has actually been done afterwards.

It’s not just the device itself, but how you market it as well folks.

Nice spam site, “Ashley.” Getting some adsense nickels from that?

“JessicaW” quit spamming this blog with your fake “leak” site spam. Ignore, people – just an adsense trap.

Oh please, each one of those things was only “transformative” for ignorant people who didn’t know better. For people already doing graphics and publishing work, the Mac was just another underpowered computer, and black and white no less. For the 26 million Napster users who already had a complete MP3 collection by 2001, the iPod was just another MP3 player. To the 100 million people who already had smartphones before the iPhone launched, it was just another smartphone. The only people who’s lives Apple transforms, are the people who ignore the world around them, and only notice technology when Apple introduces a new product.

I think it will be scroll like. Very thin, can probably fold down neatly and that would make it portable. I once saw a video of him enthusatically mentioning something about a scroll type thing. He might have found a way to acheive. Well, his engineers and himself.

Not cheap. Apple cares more about making a product actually work over making it cheap. I don’t mind spending a little more. It’s better then buying a cheap product that you will never use.

In this case $100 for the SDK.

Actually there are news stories about the iPod being used in Iraq to help solders translate. It has the added bonus of being familiar so the locals already know how to use it and are not scared of it.

“The only people who’s lives Apple transforms, are the people who ignore the world around them, and only notice technology when Apple introduces a new product.”

Not everyone trolls tech crunch and other tech blogs searching for the latest and greatest in technology. You are so deep into your own shit that you can’t see the forest from the trees anymore.

Fact is tech geeks are in the minority. The majority are those who are snapping up iPods and iPhones by the MILLIONS. Apple’s marketing arm doesn’t really give two shits if you (snarky internet commenter Lee Lloyd) buy either.

220000000 iPods sold to date. 40000000 iPhones sold to date. That’s a hell of a lot of people who “ignore the world around them”

You know that Apple bought PA Semiconductor years ago to build a custom system on a chip microprocessor for mobile devices. Most likely this will use an ARM chip custom designed by Apple.

Now I am a card-carrying Apple Fanboi and I idolize Steve Jobs to a degree that others might well find nauseating. That said, Steve is no stranger to hyperbole. Steve often proclaims the newest Apple laptop, dekstop, iPod, gadget…to be “the best thing we’ve ever done” so we probably shouldn’t wet ourselves just yet.

I agree. We need flying cars. Too much traffic on the roads. Besides, the Jetsons liked them just fine.

Thats it! God is going to communicate with the human race through the tablet…why didn’t I think of it before

I do not think the Apple tablet will be extremely important. No unless you think watching movies and TV are extremely important. And cheaper, easier to carry textbooks are extremely important. Worthwhile, of course. Extremely important. No

Thats it! God is going to communicate with the human race through the tablet! Why didn’t I think of it before *forehead slap*

[...] acordo com o TechCrunch, a frase “Esta será coisa mais importante que eu já fiz” — vindo do próprio [...]

Maybe it will save Obama’s presidency. Dude’s going down in flames. Go Steve!

The size is essential for immersive video, video chat, and reading books, newspapers and magazines.

I think the space between an iPod and a MacBook exists for some people. I’m looking forward to it. For others it may replace a PC, Kindle, textbook, or television. I’m sure this will open up whole new categories of applications that require long battery life and touch screen interaction. It takes a lot of momentum to make a device like this successful. I think this will be the first time this has ever truly happened for a tablet computer.

Yeah, sales are not slowing. They made the iPhone useful enough that we wear them out quickly. I’m on my second one and will buy another one soon. Not to mention that they introduce new features with each generation. The tablet is really just the next big thing. It is also an answer to net books for people who don’t need or want a full featured computer. It will certainly be easier to use. This also likely represents the SDK starting to grow up and eventually replacing Cocoa on the Mac.

Just like how iTunes and Apps contributed to the success of iPod and iPhone respectively, the new tablet needs something that makes it’s a daily utility on the go: books, magazines, newspapers or tv shows.

According to the latest rumors and reports, Apple seems to be working with various content providers to bring all those to the tablet. Let’s see how Steve’s announcement on 27th looks like!

An “objective” assessment of the statement is not necessary. If the guy is excited, he is excited. What are you gonna do?

I agree. Love Apple stuff. Will probably buy a tablet eventually, though. But it is not a game-changer, so to speak. Though portable gaming on it will be very good.

Innuendo? No in my endo, Steve.

thank you for just agreeing with the whole the general populous are mindless bots epithet. it doesn’t matter if apple is selling their products 10:1 to everyone else. what’s sad is that people get pulled in by the aesthetics of the brand instead of the actual technology and innards of the product…but then again we’re not all nerds and we don’t care about what we consume, as long as our products do what we want NOW!

your use of the words useful and ear them out quickly just boggles the mind.

Let’s say it does all the coolest things that people have conjectured, and it only costs $800. What device are you going to replace with it? Your iPhone? Kindle? Laptop? Desktop? And will you run out tomorrow to spend your $800 just because it does all these cool things? To me a tablet could replace laptops and Kindles, but I still wouldn’t carry around both an iPhone and a tablet, and I wouldn’t replace my iPhone with a tablet. A new tablet will not have the same penetration as the iPhone.

Kindle sucks. Put iphone apps on a decent sized tablet with a good display, have it play video, have it be big enough to actually be comfortable to read (ok, my eyes suck).

Best yet, add eBooks to the iTunes store! :’)

I guess we have to wait until Tuesday to find out what happens. I just hope the tablet isn’t as closed as the iPhone.

Agree. There is no way the tablet can beat the iPhone/iPod Touch combo in sales unless Apple sells it for less than 400-500 dollars, which is impossible.

[...] TechCrunch is reporting that Jobs is saying that the tablet is the most important thing he’s ever done. [...]

if the iPhone was indeed a warm up product, I’m really excited about this device too!

:)

“are not scared of it”

Now I wish I could turn back time.

Iraqi’s are not scared of cell phone’s I don’t think we can credit Apple for that – let’s credit common sense, ok bud.

a kickstand is essential for table top viewing. a rack is required for car cab viewing. with out a kickstand/rack/crutch this device will probably give you a submersive neckache. if no one is thinks of laptop as an emersive experience, why would they with a tablet?

Apple is a bit more expensive but the milage on its product is unmatched!

No, actually, it isn’t very many people at all. Those iPod sales are over 9 years, and almost 20 different devices, yet are not even twice the sales of a single generation of the Playstation franchise, and those iPhone sales (which you are inflating a bit, by the way), are over three generations and nearly 10 SKUs, and yet not as much as Nokia sells in a single quarter.

Apple continually sells new iterations of their products to the same 25 million people over and over again. That is fewer than the number of “tech geeks” who were on Napster long before the iPod or iTunes ever existed, and far fewer than the 100 million “tech geeks” who owned Nokia, Sony, HTC, RIM or Palm smartphones long before the iPhone ever came out.

If you want to play the numbers game, fine, but Apple is not the number one phone manufacturer, in fact they aren’t even in the top five, they aren’t the number one smartphone manufacturer, they aren’t the number one gaming device manufacturer, they sure as hell aren’t the number one computer manufacturer, and they aren’t even close to being the number one consumer electronics manufacturer. In fact, they are a very case study in how to turn a niche market into a very lucrative business.

You can’t have it both ways. If geeks who spend all day on the Internet don’t matter, then Apple is virtually irrelevant to anything but the portable audio player market. The mass market definition of a smartphone is (depending on country) either Nokia, RIM, or DoCoMo. The mass market definition of a computer is Windows. The mass market definition of a handheld gaming device is Nintendo. No one, EXCEPT a particular brand of hipper than thou tech geeks, sit around obsessing about Apple products, and how they changed their life.

I think the ‘itunes in the cloud’ is going to be a big part of this thing’s m.o. My guess is it’s going to be a really sweet touchscreen network appliance.

*wear.

what i meant is how can something that is useful be worn out quickly? isn’t that a nuisance? does it suggest bad building or an integrated mechanism built into the product for it to be invaluable/incompetent in x amount of time?

Apple – 26/27 Jan – A Big hype and many rumors, guesses, analysis, insider information,
hints from already existing device have already flooded Blogs, Techsites ,Newspaper sites on the Internet. People are so curious to know about the upcoming release in advance meaning before the “Apple” announce it in public. Added salt to this recipe is the official invitations sent out by Apple. Based on “My surfing” in last few days, most of the people are anticipating tablet kind of device from apple. Some said that it would be for health care and some said that it would be for everyday in house holds. My bet is totally different. Apple is known for incarnation of the whole new ecosystem. iTune and Appstore are the classic example. So this time too they may play a same shot who knows?. This time they can give a incarnation of new ecosystem related to “Digital Art”.
They can come up with a platform to sell Digital Arts work of the artist online May you can not download images but you can order painting or art work for your home or office. May be you can download also They may also launch a device like “Drawing Pad” for artists. It will have already known technologies like multi touch and digital brushes for artists. What is the rational behind this? 1) Their invitation made me to think this way.
2) They released a special mouse some time before. 3) People reported that apple is working on multi touch version of desktop application. 4) There are so many stock photography sites. that means business model is viable. 5) Who is dominant player in providing digital art equipments? Can you guess? There is a company called “WACOM”
who makes multi touch tablets for creative artists. It has be claim on one of the website that they have more that 70% of market share for this kind of device. The device from this company are like industry standard for the artists. again there is a chance for apple to break monopoly. A huge market for selling devices as well with applications. Thats all what i had to say for apple’s upcoming innovation. Let’s see what they launch.

Thank you for reading a long post.

@Ted, Yeah right! Keep deluding yourself into buying more overpriced Apple products!

I think that these words are just for marketing.

Nor do I. Though this tablet may make me actually want an Apple product.

I can’t wait! I know it’s going to be an expensive gadget, but its going to be so revolutionary as to be worth it. Besides, I’m hoping that DubLi will have it on one of their auctions – that will really drive the price down!

As far as I can tell, there are hundreds of comments from people who have never used OneNote on a Tablet PC. It is one of the biggest reasons I do not consider any Mac hardware, today. The pen paradigm is extremely useful in social environments, like meetings, where putting a screen between you and another person might be considered rude.

If this product is just a “big iPhone” with multi-touch, then whoop-de-doo. However, if it is going to push pen computing forward from 2006, it might end up having the importance Jobs suggests.

@John, Apple products are generally more expensive to purchase but you are getting more in the long term, to clarify:

PRICE is how much you are paying the product to carry it home
VALUE is what you believe the product is worth to you

The majority Apple users (I am one of them) pay more because they are aware of the value. They usually end up making enough money (or saving money) out of using the product, to cover the initial cost and carry on focusing on their job.

How about this new wrinkle?

Apple announces Wednesday that it is buying Netflix!

And that all those movies and TV shows will be available for streaming (maybe even downloading) to the tablet! I could see various sub levels–perhaps even working like a library as Netflix does somewhat now. $10 so many items out at a time; $20 so many more.

And Netflix will be folded into iTunes!

Well, a Tablet could free up a lot of space on your MacBook or your iPhone just by moving videos, movies, and PDFs to that.

If I moved all of my movie files from my MB Pro, that thing should move like a cheetah insead of snow leopard.

Uhm — iPhone & iPod Touch? $99 for 8GB iPhone 3G vs. $179 for 4GB Nexus One? iPod Touch 64GB for $399 vs. ??? cause the just ins’t an equivalently specced competitive device that wouldn’t be laughed at?

Apple doesn’t make cheap products. It does make very competitively priced ones though…

[...] TechCrunch reports that Steve Jobs referring to the soon-to-be-launched Apple Tablet was quoted as saying: “This will be the most important thing I’ve ever done.” Given the magnitude of Jobs’ contribution to the world of content consumption, this is a huge statement. It is a fair bet that the Applet Tablet will be omnipresent within a few years. [...]

nope, for it’s potential as a money making tool.

rofl, i think we can even expect it will read our minds if we want to be overly optimistic ;)

“Nobody wants to haul around a bulky tablet when the iPhone is more practical. A touch screen tablet is not a game changer no matter what it does.”

Given some of the rumors, it may not be intended to be taken out of a building. For the family, stays in the home, for medicine, stays in hospital, for business, stays in office. That doesn’t mean you couldn’t move it, but Apple may be betting such a device would not hover more than a couple of hundred feet from a common point and may have studies showing larger devices rarely are moved great distances. An Audrey on steroids. It is a niche that has never been exploited.

“Call me when it folds down to the size of an iPhone.”

It may fold eventually. A double fold of a 8″ x 13″ tablet would be 4″ x 6.5″ handheld, but I don’t know of any way for a 7/8″ thick handheld to be unfolded to a a 3/16″ tablet, unless the battery and circuits take up very little space and are integrated into the structural frame.

Why does TechCrunch show a very outdated picture of Steve Jobs? He doesn’t look like that anymore.

I got a virus on my computer last time I clicked on one of these links in the TC comments. Be careful people.

The demo is actually pretty good once you get past the ads, I just hope the real thing lives up to the hype.

Never underestimate Apple fanboys.

Anyway, I thought the iPhone was going to rule the world? Sales are slowing already? Are you telling me it was all hype?

Speaking of hype, apparently, the Apple tablet will irradicate world hunger and make Steve Jobs immortal, hence the most important thing he’s ever done. And it will bring in lots of cash; but that’s just an irrelevant detail.

No, it’s true — it’s the most important thing Steve’s ever done. The Apple tablet will finally complete his Moses costume.

So people, please buy the tablet and be part of the most important event of human civilization. Be part of history! Buy the tablet!

Textbooks are so 20th century. An educational tablet will use discreet learning content that will be interactive and can be dynamically changed as needed. Instead of seeing a static graph of a calculus formula, you’ll be able interact with the variables and formula without ever leaving the ‘page’. Need some remediation, click this link over here. Want more information on how something works, click that link over there. Studying electronics, here’s research that was published just last week that demonstrates the concept you’re studying today.

I hope they stay out of the feminine hygiene market.

No non-apple product (PC) would ever have replaced my cracked casing and then my HD while upgrading me 2 levels to snow leopard for FREE while my machine was over 3 years out of warranty.

Now that is not a level of customer service I’ve ever received anywhere… other than the apple store. Fact.

“Will Be The Most Important Thing I’ve Ever Done.”

I agree because he is in a position that he has to deliver. It has been 2 1/2 years since the debut of the iPhone. Apple has been notorious for changing the game when competitors get close. Before it was Microsoft Zune, Archos, & iRiver closing on the iPods. Now its a Android, Palm and a Revamped Windows Mobile for the iPhone.

Steve Jobs, the eyes of the world are looking at you to see what is in your magic bag. If it doesn’t deliver those eyes might not look back.

Yes, because a $1500+ multi touch tablet is going to replace all of those $300 / $400 bare minimum pc’s…

School have a hard enough time supporting their students computing needs as it is that i doubt apple will win back any type of large scale educational contracts while it still requires themselves to be the sole hardware producer.

“Maybe it will do all that at a reasonable price”

from apple? please…

Senior Apple execs and friends of Jobs are telling people that he’s about as excited about the upcoming Apple Tablet as he’s ever been.

Yes, that was a little startling to see when the page first loaded.

Good Handwriting and speech recognition have been around for well over a decade. I have a tablet PC and the handwriting stuff is neat, but is not (and simply can not) ever be as quick as a a little onscreen keyboard. Speech recognition is good in theory (and has some commercial merit in certain situations) but who is really going to sit around and talk to there tablet all day. Only time I ever used voice recognition was in my car over a bluetooth headset, before i added simple on screen, one touch, call contact icons.

but keep in mind, Apple has only released one invitation, and that’s it. So the media has hyped it, not Apple.

Of course Apple never disappoints since they always provide huge breakthroughs at events like this, so the “hype” is really about the next step in human eveolution. So it’s highly newsworthy if you ask me.

“the media has hyped it”

That’s precisely how Apple works. Apple actually says little, the media tries to read between the lines and publishes rubbish speculations and proclamations, which a large segment of the public then regards as fact.

Voice recognition? Great, instead of yelling on their cell phone, everyone is going to be yelling at their iPad.

Yes, it’s the same thing as the beautiful girl who doesn’t utter a word is always more attractive, than the same beauty that can’t shut up.

Less is far more, and Apple plays it better than anyone on the planet.

For those wanting a deep look into Apple’s colorful tablet history, here are some intense screenshots, and a way to obtain these 8 DVDs. They are full of interesting tidbits of early Tablet dreams and Apple’s 28 year quest for a “thin as paper” computing device. Plus a whole lot more.

One important feature of print media…the owner-reader can UNDERLINE or HIGHLIGHT.
…Will the Apple Tablet or any others offer Underline or Highlight feature? Then would there have to be a feature…copying the whole book or page to a hard drive or something like that..or how would the reader go back in days, weeks, months, years to review what had been read and highlighted?
If not…that will be one of the things that will extend the life cycle of print media.

I’m being serious when I say this, It might feel that way because it could be the last big thing he ever does.

Killing the Kindle is not the object. Moving forward with technology to offer more functions to more people is the object. That’s how a company makes money.
Competition motivates innovation, price, quality, and public access to goods.
Kindle is established and will hold its user base and also will advance technically. They have already dropped their pricing.
We wouldn’t probably have Android phones if Apple had not introduced the iPhone…Imagine smart phones of 5 & 10 years from now…Wow.!
So..GO Technology, GO!

Its hard to imagine that this will be anything but a colossal misstep on Apples behalf when only a small portion of the potential marketplace will embrace this platform … kind of like … oh I dont know … Mac and the OS operating system. Whats their share again?

Great comment! I am a working producer/director/writer and an adjunct professor, and my research on Edutainment & Convergence verifies exactly what you are talking about in your post. The student who replied about the tablet not having textbooks is incorrect. I purchased all of books online for my doctoral degree from Amazon before and during the original Kindle, and most of my books that I purchased can be viewed on my digital Amazon account. I think another missing point is the gaming aspect which you provided critical insight on in your example. Gaming enables you to engage in remediation, simulation and knowledge building at the same time. This is why the military has been using simulation technology for three plus decades. The best statistics professor that I ever had was the one who taught me how to interact with my real data through the use of excel. I was no statistical wizard, but I learned quickly because it was my data being crunched concretely. Finally, I know for a fact that many of the tier one, flagship, Ivy League and prestigious universities are using iTunesU for learning through podcasts. I learned more through viewing these podcasts than I did from my books because my eyes didn’t get tired when I listened or watched over and over on my Mac or iPod. I imagine that YouTube will also be a great tool as well and many universities also use YouTube to distribute content. In my class, social media is a mandatory part of the class and so are convergence tools. I have noticed increased attendance, better grades, more critical thinking, better projects and more engaged students. Great job! BTW, the state of California is going to digital books for K-12. Did you know that a hidden tuition costs is book which cost nearly approximately $900 or more according to the Cal-Oregon PIRG? So even if one paid a one-time discounted fee for the iSlate or whatever it will be called with discounted e-books that are updated next year digitally, it is still a good deal for a device that will have a 3-4 year lifespan. Now if Apple could create a way to store on the cloud which a recent purchase indicates well we could have something.

[...] Overheard: Steve Jobs Says Apple Tablet “Will Be The Most Important Thing I’ve Ever Done.” [...]

What about Lenovo? Tablet that removes from laptop? All the time usefullness. I think this concept will be the one to beat.

I think that the AppleTV is the element that will ultimately bring all of these devices together, but Apple has been slow to develop it to its natural potential. If Apple were smart, Apple would create its own social network for iTunes purchasers (folks who get the gift cards and download to their PCs but don’t own Mac products), Apple product owners, and those who are interested in Mac products and then develop an AppleTV network that will work like HULU with streamed video and ads to promote unknown shows and some popular shows. AppleTV would be a great learning tool as soon as Apple begins making flat screen tv/video monitors that are able to download iTunesU and other learning and game-based learning tutorials.

The Amazon.com kindle or Barnes&Noble nook will revolutionize the education system by letting students read all their text books on their devices. Also Barnes and noble already has strong ties with many universities so that is a starting point.

However, I think with the economy the way it is, nothing will revolutionize the educational system any time soon. Plenty of professors have already made the textbooks optional in school by putting everything as pdf or power points.

Great point! That was one of my initial thoughts! This may be the gateway to getting folks to purchase the bigger macs to handle the bigger jobs that are memory intensive. Just like the iPod has been a gateway to the iPhone and to converting former PC owners like myself several years ago.

Except that the Kindle & Nook have no penetration in schools or universities The Apple Tablet will outsell them within the first few days, so those companies really aren’t players after Wednesday don’t forget.

It’s going to work like this… full color 10 inch display, textbooks from $8.99 and up, typical paperbacks from $1.99 and up. Subscription magazines, $5.99 and up, full year, newspapers $24.99 and up.

People seem to forgetting that Apple will solidify this space. They will be the only major contender for the next 10 years or so. And while I totally think the Kindle and Nook will BENEFIT from this release, they won’t be considered usable after Wednesday.

Apple has worked on Tablets for DECADES, they are really the only companies that understand how they will work in society, so Wednesday is going to be quite interesting… This could be bigger than the iPod and iPhone, COMBINED.

No flying cars, get rid of cars. What we need are “walking legs” so people can get rid of all that fat they’ve accumulated because they just have to drive two blocks for a pack of smokes.

Using legs for their intended purpose for reasonable distances (like two miles or less) will also reduce car traffic, reduce CO pollution, and reduce the income to terrorist countries [who are trying to kill us, duh] for their oil. It might even reduce some crime if more people were out walking and burning calories instead of sitting/texting/not-paying-attention in their little asthma inducing, heart attack enhancing, obese promoting, pollution-mobiles.

And that might lead to books on ethics, which textbook vendors will learn to charge $20 for their product, not gouge students by trying to charge $80-$140 that costs less than $7.50 to produce.

The internet makes all data equal, so don’t get cocky, since that is the fastest path to your demise.

Yes, but this is an Apple product, so it will be the first successful tablet that has significant sales and usage. Apple always defines a market once they feel the public & technology is ready.

Apple has worked on the tablet dream for 28 years, so they have a lot more experience with them than any other vendor… so keep that in mind as Wednesday at 10am PST draws closer.

I’m excited – I think this will be a winner of a product for media and gaming.

What I am still unsure of is if it will be a good productivity device. Without a keyboard that can be felt and not just seen, I don’t see tablets taking off. Now, if they have pulled off a tactile keyboard (as is rumored), I’m in 100%.
