for years but bits of information leaking here and there over the last few
months indicate it could be for real A new report from AppleInsider now says the
device is on track to be introduced early next year The report on Friday said
that the last few important hurdles in bringing the tablet to fruition have been
cleared As the Wall Street Journal reported earlier this year AppleInsider says
CEO Steve Jobs has personally been overseeing the project and is on schedule for
a launch sometime between January and March 2010 AppleInsider says its source is
well respected for their striking accuracy in Apple’s internal affairs It
follows a VentureBeat report last week that PA Semi the chip company Apple
purchased last year had been working in two teams one on chips for iPhones and
iPods and the other on a tablet device There are now multiple
rumors/reports/speculation that an Apple tablet would be essentially an oversize
iPod Touch and will cost somewhere between a $299 iPhone/iPod Touch and the $999
MacBook Regarding timing we’ve heard the 2010 time frame before–back before the
Worldwide Developers Conference when Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster said
he’d heard early next year from Asian suppliers for the device Erica Ogg is a

While I am bummed that this is supposedly a Q1-2010 release versus a Q4-2009
release this is good news and as I have stated it’s a real complex undertaking
as this is no mere iPod with a bigger screen Most fundamentally it forces the
company 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 interconects between same a topic that I blogged about in:Apple the Boomer
Tablet and the Matrixhttp://bit.ly/DwziSCheck it out if interested.Mark Reply to

release by cvaldes1831 July 24 2009 2:51 PM PDT Just to clarify Apple_Guy’s
comments Apple’s fiscal year ends in September Their second fiscal quarter is
January-March.My guess is that Apple needs to complete Snow Leopard and launch
the next generation iPods before it can concentrate more resources on this
phantom device and any developer tools necessary to support it by baconstang
July 24 2009 2:17 PM PDT Place your bets I’m guessing $499 to $599 depending on
memory Reply to this comment by cvaldes1831 July 24 2009 2:27 PM PDT Too low The
high-end 32GB iPod touch is $399 Assuming Apple unveils the next generation iPod
touches in September we should see a 64GB iPod touch at $399.My guess is $699
and $799 Perhaps a $599 model that’s subsidized by a cellular carrier for a 3G
data plan Apple’s pricing is always a little high when they debut a completely
new product go ahead and check price history for the iPhone by Apple_Guy July 24
2009 2:41 PM PDT Come on guys this is Apple Inc were talking about here $999 by
cvaldes1831 July 24 2009 2:44 PM PDT Naaah the white MacBook is still at
$999.However I could see this at $899 by shellcodes_coder July 24 2009 2:52 PM
PDT Dude you are a joker It’s at least gonna cost $2000 because you gotta pay
CrApple tax for the soon-to-be–world’s most advanced iTablet or iCraplet by
baconstang July 24 2009 3:19 PM PDT OK depends on the memory options They may
squeeze you there since it’s unlikely to be upgradable like a laptop I just hope
wireless plans are not required that would eliminate many sales Still the entry
model really needs to come in at no more than $600.Since it’s not pocket sized
it’s competing with netbooks and laptops so the price needs to fall in the $300
to $1K slot by Seaspray0 July 26 2009 8:12 AM PDT baconstang Not fair you got
the best price range guess I want the bet on the $499-$500 range too by arbulus
July 24 2009 2:32 PM PDT If this really is just an oversized iPod Touch/iPhone
then it’s going to be a useless Further if it is running OS X then typing on it
will be horrendous Typing in landscape on the iPhone is great because you can
get your thumbs all over the keyboard But with a 9-10 inch device that won’t be
possible You’d have to lay it down to type on it and that simply will not do As
for using it as an ebook reader no thank you Reading books on a back-lit device
is murder to one’s eyes That’s why e-ink was developed because you cannot sit
for hours reading a book on a back-lit screen.Otherwise what would this thing be
for What could it possibly do It’s pointless Reply to this comment by baconstang
July 24 2009 3:22 PM PDT I think the idea will to be to type with your thumbs
while holding it NOT in the landscape mode by BlitzBoy1120 July 24 2009 3:36 PM
PDT You’ll either have to hold it vertically for a full qwert keyboard or a
half-half keyboard will show at both sides of the screen Like on your right side
letters Y,H,N and right and left T,G,B and left It might be awkward but it’s a
safe bet that if Apple has already started to produce the tablet they have
something innovative ready It would be nice if the screen slid up and tilted
vertically and a nice qwerty keyboard is underneath but Steve isn’t a fan of
buttons xD by Dalkorian July 24 2009 4:18 PM PDT No way they’re bringing back
the click wheel but in touch screen form Any file in the tablet can be accessed
with just a couple hundred finger taps LOL.What No I thought we were
intentionally being silly here Sorry by 1812dave July 24 2009 4:57 PM PDT arbus
you must be a Kindler I hear that nonsense all the time reading on a backlit
device is murder on the eyes Nonsense My wife and both spend hours reading on
our Touchs–in daylight dim light and no ambient light It causes NO eyestrain
whatsoever And I’m almost 62 years old I can see the screen very clearly and
viewing it for hours at a time is no effort whatsover I’m sure Bebos put you up
to that nonsense about backlit screens being bad for the eyes sigh by doobz94
July 24 2009 8:03 PM PDT Who said it only has a touch screen keyboard While I
wouldn’t be surprised if Apple only had a software keyboard on this tablet we
know nothing The thing could have a physical keyboard Don’t criticize something
until it’s actually announced if this rumor is true by Seaspray0 July 26 2009
8:14 AM PDT The palm pre used to have an accessory plug in mini keyboard It’s
possible something like that could be revived by mrcockrell July 26 2009 8:53 AM
PDT arbushave to agree with 1812dave therereading on a back-lit screen is murder
people have doing that for years on PCs before the kindle was even thought of by
Gimpymw July 27 2009 6:58 AM PDT Useless is an extreme word to use if describing
the tablet as an oversized iPod Touch I would describe it as less functional if
it’s an oversized iPod touch The dimensions of the device would preclude it from
functioning as an iPod so logically it would need to be able to do something
else to make people want to buy one over a regular iPod Touch Besides I can’t
see why PA Semi would be developing seperate processor from the iPhone/iPod
touch if this was just an oversized iPod Touch by sgirard July 24 2009 2:36 PM

a phone then on an SDK for the phone Jobs will confess he was wrong about people
don’t read any more and that the device has been optimized for reading books
Reply to this comment by shellcodes_coder July 24 2009 2:51 PM PDT Let me
guess…they are gonna call it the world’s most advanced tablet book or what
ever and it’s gonna cost $2000 after adding CrApple tax As usual they are
already too late because Windows 7′s gonna knock them out of the game Reply to
this comment by this1 July 24 2009 3:15 PM PDT thers no way you’re actually that
daft…i mean its one thing to be excited about windows 7 which after the
failure that is vista i am.its an entirely different thing altogether to be

sized Touch There’s room for more than one OS and device Don’t make us Window
users look like idiots please by SolarSaves July 25 2009 8:55 AM PDT Ya too late
because of those smokin Windows UMPCs that have sold millio no hundreds of thou
no well they did sell some of them didn’t someone Are they still being sold
They’ll cost around $499 $599 $699 Did anyone notice in Apple’s latest financial
reporting that Apple said sales of the iPod touch rose 130 percent
year-over-year and for the next year sales of the iPod touch will grow
significantly.?You just gotta think that they may have something insanely great
in the pipeline by SuperReviewer July 26 2009 5:11 AM PDT I find it to be
utterly sad that people identify themselves so strongly with a computer company
No offense but people who own Apple products are kinda dumb In my opinion there
is almost always a cheaper way to do every single thing that company does
Anyways this is another tablet PC and I don’t know about you guys but I haven’t
seen anyone at all ever even in NYC with a tablet PC walking around ever I know
they are out there but the market on these products is small That being said
this will sell like wild fire mainly b/c Apple like a rock band has groupies
trying to keep this bizarre idea that everything Apple makes is golden Well for
the rest of the sane world out there this is another useless product if its even
real that Apple will make and over price as usual I’m just glad im not a moron
and I wont ever consider buying this as an apple or PC product Also how come
Apple fanboys are so intrigued by a curved rectangle and the shades of white and
black And silver I forgot they use silver too…Apple fashion is light years

Windows 7′s gonna knock them out of the game!”Hahahaha Like Vista.What color is
the sky in YOUR little world by pcheng July 24 2009 2:51 PM PDT My bet is a 5-6
inch screen able to double as a tablet or a media player with 32-64GB of storage
My ideal scenario would be to replace AppleTV as well Connectivity would be a
dock bluetooth mini-hdmi 3.5mm jack usb2 3G and wifi If not flash based a 100+GB
hdd Flash and Java would have to be supported Price point would be 600-700 about
400-500 with subsidies Phone functionality would be secondary to compute and
media Thickness would be about the same as the current Iphone dimensions are
about 20-25 bigger I tried UMPC too bulky N800/10 screen too small Netbook nice
price but have too many notebooks already and 10 inch screen isn’t portable
enough Reply to this comment by Alan4ik July 24 2009 4:32 PM PDT I bet it will
be only SDD therefore expect a high $1500 price for the device by baconstang
July 24 2009 4:43 PM PDT I doubt there’s a market at that price point Even if it
had Wacom like sensitivity it would only be a niche market It’s got to come in
less than a MacBook by shellcodes_coder July 24 2009 8:06 PM PDT Alan4ik $1500
for hardware $500 Apple tax by ckh1272 July 24 2009 8:22 PM PDT

24 2009 2:56 PM PDT If you wanted to put out an oversized iPod Touch they could
have done that a year ago No this is going to be more than just an oversized
iPod Touch and I hope that Apple really surprises everyone I’m almost avoiding
the rumors because I miss the days when I used to be surprised by things I’m
thinking $599-$799 Anything higher and it’s too close to the Macbook and
anything lower and it’s too close to the iPod Touch I kind of anticipate a iPod
Touch price drop too I’m curious to see whether I’m right on that Reply to this
comment by cvaldes1831 July 24 2009 9:41 PM PDT I doubt that there would be any
price drop on the iPod touch If anything it might be fifty dollars but not much
more.The COGS simply haven’t changed that much Just Google isuppli iphone 3gs
for the recent breakdown/BOM of the iPhone 3GS The iPhone is heavily subsidized
by cellular carriers The iPod touch is not so Apple sets a substantially higher
full retail price to create the gross margin it wants.I could see the next
generation top-of-the-line iPod touch drop from $399 to $349 but not much more
Frankly my guess is that it will stay at $399 and the memory will double to 64GB
along with the addition of other features including video recording by McPlot
July 25 2009 1:25 AM PDT That is actually very sound logic on the pricing Which
is rare in these types of postings as everyone has to say this or that sucks I
do agree that Apple does charge a premium for their hardware So I am thinking in
terms of power and features this would be a $300 to $400 PDA no matter the OS
that Apple charges $599-$799 for by empirestatebuddy July 24 2009 2:58 PM PDT is

shellcodes_coder by RobertFHarwood July 24 2009 4:05 PM PDT Remembering my Apple
Newtons with fondness I look forward to seeing the next generation To think it
has taken this long for Apple to double the screen and bring it out in color The
handwritting recognition was good before and their was a third party replacement
that was better I have not seen a replacement for the Newton Assitant it was
neat The diabetes tracking application DietLog was a literal lifesaver when I
was first diagnosed with diabetes There were a number of business that were
created by people who made add on for the Newton ever hear of Palm They started
by writing a input add in for the Newton Or the silver plated replacement stylus
from PDA Panaché There was some good hardware add ons like keyboard made from
their laptop wrapped in a frame or a docking station stylus stand Even if it
isn’t larger it would be handy I think that would mean a fifty percent increase
over the iTouch The 4G/3G cellular data connecton would be nice but not
mandatory Tethering to an exsisting cell phone was something even the Orginal
Newton did And did well The first web page I ever made was on a row boat with a
Newton over a Motorola Startac Reply to this comment by mclaurin10 July 25 2009

Nodack July 25 2009 1:23 AM PDT Why does the average consumer need something
larger than a smartphone but smaller than a laptop which necessitates carrying
an extra item Because working on a screen as small as a smart phonel can be a
little annoying and a big laptop can be a pain to carry around Something that
small with enough power to run real apps but still being big enough to type and
work comfortable would be something I would be interested in by GET_TANKED July
26 2009 10:19 AM PDT i completely agree with you apple should instead lower the
price of the macbook line to make them more affordable instead of making
something that practically no one needs Unfortunately for us apple likes to be
the first to do things and if they become the first to make a successful tablet
than that’s just one more notch in the belt for them They don’t really care
about the consumer Also this thing isnt going to be in the same class as a
netbook because its gunna be much more expensive and touch screen lol Dont get
me wrong i love apple products i just feel as if their a really cocky company
for no reason by jusben1369 July 24 2009 5:08 PM PDT Oh I think this product is
a no brainer The blackberry made you imagine a world without having to haul your
laptop around but the lack of document reader and credible web browsing made it
simply a dream The iPhone gets you 80% of the way there Give me the joy of a
tiny generic phone again to carry for calls and a 2x iPhone so I can just drop
having to have an iPhone and laptop with me when I travel and go to a small
phone and a tablet That would be heaven.Just to get completely carried away
imagine if you could have the phone stored in the tablet somehow like a stylus
pen and charging but pull it out for calls Ok Ok I’ll stop Reply to this comment

obsolete.I made a point of trying the oleophobic screen on the 3GS at the local
Apple Store It works quite well I have the original 1st generation iPod touch so
I occasionally wipe away fingerprints but it’s actually less of a deal than I

Norseman July 24 2009 5:47 PM PDT As long as it’s open season on guessing what

keyboard Apple makes It’s small and really REALLY thin Now imagine a big iPod
touch that’s the same size Put the two together with a hinge and
SHAZAM!!!–Apple’s version of a netbook-type thing It’s a tablet but it has a
real live keyboard that you can use–like a netbook All the guts would be behind
the screen instead of under the keyboard Of course you can just use the touch
features if you want with the keyboard stowed behind the touch part But if you
need to do serious typing just fold the keyboard out and type away Cool huh

Or maybe it won’t.Apple’s first attempt at a notebook computer was laughable
Based on their recently announced sales figures I think they have done quite
well So does Wall Street.Apple has also hit two homers out of the ballpark the
iPod and the iPhone Can they hit another one with a tablet computer Maybe maybe
not But without a doubt their recent slugging percentage is quite impressive.Go
ahead Buy some AAPL and MSFT today Come back in five years and tell us how you

PM PDT Steve doesn’t like expandability He wants you to buy the new hardware in
a couple of years.USB would certainly be present for data transfer and syncing
just like iPods/iPhones by McPlot July 25 2009 1:39 AM PDT No do to Apple’s
greed They would rather you speed $100 per say 8gb to 16gb of memory Which you
can buy from Microcenter for $10-$30 depending on the size)r So if you want one
with more memory you have to pay Apple for it see the Apple tax comments Not
just pop in a SD or MicroSD card by baconstang July 25 2009 2:12 AM PDT I’ll bet
it does have a card reader like the new MBPs But since it probably won’t be
expandable you’ll have to buy the memory you need up front by yodaxl7 July 24
2009 10:56 PM PDT I think the apple tablet net book would have on screen
mult-touch keyboard Plus I think Verizon would have the 3g or 4g data plan The
tablet would have ssd hard drive and it may be 128 gig It may have or work with
the iphone in exchanging data via bluetooth There may be a pen to write on it
This pen may be mult-functional The itab may recognize voice to text using
google technology I hope it has a2dp also I hope it can read blu-ray and write
It would be nice that you can play games on it too Reply to this comment by
cvaldes1831 July 24 2009 11:59 PM PDT Not sure if the Verizon 3G data plan makes
sense That’s CDMA technology zero value in most of the world It would have to be
4G LTE.SSD hard drives make no sense Added expense for nothing More likely NAND
flash memory soldered directly onto the motherboard.It would probably have
Bluetooth but data transfers would be far faster and have better range over WiFi
which it would most certainly have the recent Broadcom chips have WiFi Bluetooth
FM radio bundled).The pen/stylus is the antithesis of Steve Jobs aesthetic Plus
the pen does not provide multi-touch since it has just one point.The chances of
it having Blu-ray are practically nil As Steve mentioned Blu-ray licensing is a
big bag of pain plus a Blu-ray drive would suck the battery die
lickety-split.Yes it would be nice that you can play games on it though by
