But yes. A tablet...with no real multitasking abilities. That would be a huge mess. I'm sorry.
I just don't see this being anything but an iPhone/iPod Touch for the vision impaired (that was a joke for those who can't follow, not serious).

The iPhone mulitasks just fine, it's just castrated for performance and and battery issues. This wouldn't be an issue on a tablet device, which can be put in hibernation mode and can have a bigger battery.

Pardon? I'm sorry but if this is your opinion then you are an idiot (sorry, I can't sugarcoat this any more). That the tablet would run the iPhone OS is very good news for the very simple reason that the whole OS and all the applications already available for it are designed for a touch interface. What you do not want is a desktop OS that does not depend on touch, which is precisely what you would get with Windows and Mac OS X. When applications cannot depend on the interface that you will use to interact with them then you have a problem.

Still, if you can outline why the iPhone OS is an expensive toy, preferably with substantial reliance on facts rather than fanboy nonsense, that'd be great.]]>Sep 29th 2009 9:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/29/apple-tablet-rumors-redux-10-7-inch-display-iphone-os-undernea/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/29/apple-tablet-rumors-redux-10-7-inch-display-iphone-os-undernea/

Only Mac OSX does not support touch as of now.Windows 7 supports multitouch very well as it has been reviewed already.

iPhone apps will not work directly with this tablet its resolution is totally different and they have to be ported to it.

Having no access to file system and other customizations will kill a tablet of this size.

Typing on a flat tablet's touchscreen keyboard or even watching a movie will surely strain your neck as you have look down constantly.A removable stand is not a option as this is certainly not a desktop replacement and is meant to be used on the go.

Some FACTS for you to show how this version of the apple tablet will fail.I do hope apple will come up with something better.

Many tech sites are more excited about the Courier concept than they are the Apple tablet.

My best guess being as I said, this is NOTHING new. It's an iPhone/Touch with an oversized screen. And that's exactly ho they're going to sell it.

You really seem to put a lot of stock in this Courier, according to your posts. You mention it in almost every one.

Let me dash your dreams a little.

How long ago was the courier even brought to light?
How long ago was the tablet rumor brought to light?

Now look at that. Within just a few weeks...there's almost half as many articles as there is tablet ones. Yikes.
While the tablet rumors have been out for months on end.

SO you just kind of proved yourself wrong and made yourself look silly. Anything else you'd like to do for me?

Gizmodo (the one who broke the story of the Courier) states they're more excited. Even Engadget, the Holy Grail of all that is Apple loving stated that they hold a tiny bit more interest in the Courier.

So what are you trying to say sir? What indeed?]]>Sep 29th 2009 9:30AM
