Apple Tablet Coming In January
There has been a lot of talk and rumours about the new Apple tablet and the folks at Boy Genius Report have a claim that the new Tablet device by Apple will come with a 7-inch display.
Apple has now been asking a few of their key developers to update their apps so that it can be run on a higher-resolution iPhone OS.
According to various report over the internet Apple rented out the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco for a few days in late January 2010. Im really looking forward to seeing what the tablet can offer, but I dont really see that the market for tablet PCs is that big!
I guess Apple should really send me one to test out, maybe we could provide them with some indepth analysis on the market size, etc.
Tablets PCs and How Sports Illustrated Will Look on a Tablet PC
There has been a lot of talk about the Apple Tablet in the past 6 months, but now since it has been delayed the press have moved over to the actual applications which are going to be on the Apple Tablet and other Tablets. Here is a preview of what Time Inc. has come up with for Sports Illustrated. I really think it looks great and has a lot of potential. However, these applications and the content doesnt seem to be ad funded (well at least not in traditional IAB sizes), so are these all going to be completely subscription based?
Courier: New Microsoft Tablet PC Which Looks Amazing!
Gizmodo had an exclusive regarding the new Tablet PC from Microsoft. The tablet will be call the Courier and man does it look good.
The Courier is currently in “late prototype” stage of development and not exactly a tablet, its more of a booklet. The dual 7-inch (or so) screens are multitouch, and designed for writing, flicking and drawing with a stylus, in addition to fingers. They’re connected by a hinge that holds a single iPhone-esque home button. Statuses, like wireless signal and battery life, are displayed along the rim of one of the screens. On the back cover is a camera, and it might charge through an inductive pad, like the Palm Touchstone charging dock for Pre.
The Courier user experience presented here is almost the exact opposite of what everyone expects the Apple tablet to be, a kung fu eagle claw to Apple’s tiger style.
It’s complex: Two screens, a mashup of a pen-dominated interface with several types of multitouch finger gestures, and multiple graphically complex themes, modes and applications.
