No one will be able to answer any of those questions until the device is actually unveiled...

Pundits seem to think it'll be a game-changing technology with functions that overlap with phones, computers and eBooks.

For read, that includes historical background on its development, check out the following:
The Exhaustive Guide to Apple Tablet Rumors - apple islate - Gizmodo
and
The Apple Tablet Interface Must Be Like This - apple tablet - Gizmodo


This shall be interesting - looking forward to this device Honestly, if this comes out as we think it will, one of my biggest fears is the ability to protect if from damage - so many people drop their iPhone and other related hand-held devices, and since this is going to be more "slippery" than a laptop,,, can just see these floating slowly in air, falling towards the ground, their owners faces in agony. :shock:


mod note: yes, moved it to computers

Now that I am no longer under NDA, I can reveal that I have been a beta tester for the new Apple iSlate. Here is a picture of it, docked with my iMac.

As a former Apple employee [engineer], I am very excited about this new product.
I see Apple getting ready to reinvigorate the old static publishing model.

A little something to think about:

It's called the iPad. This will be the first instance of that word appearing on City-Data.

Here's a liveblog discussing the details as they are revealed.
