As far as the ICD tablet goes, we're waiting for official confirmation on specs, but we got a credible tip this morning suggesting that it's currently running Windows CE with a resistive touchscreen, and that both Android and capacitive upgrades are in the cards, as well as multiple screen sizes. We're also told that the goal is a March 2010 launch and that T-Mobile might be involved, but we wouldn't take any of that to the bank until we hear for real -- stay tuned.
fantastic.. not very exciting
why not?
That guy's STILL holding that "what now" pose from earlier? His arms gotta be tired by now.
Well, its running Windows CE. and RESISTIVE touch screen.
That my friends is allready 2 strikes.
Double FAIL.

It always looks like he's trying to fight someone.
Love that Pic. He’s all like “WHAT?! I’m a tech, black-belt, triad, gangster, sun!” as he looks across the table with disdain for the ATI and Intel punks! Lol...
5 dollar foot long?
@iroydude HAHAHAAHAHAA......

"I've got a headache... this big....."
That picture so deserves a quote contest.
My entry:
"Sup, bitches?!? Want some?" As he drops his ultra cool tablet on the table.

Take your time. Skimming aids reading comprehension, but it's not a replacement for reading the whole passage. Also, see if you can't find less trite language to express yourself.
-1 for spelling
Maybe it's just the photo's engadget use, but this guy looks like he's next in line for the leadership of North Korea - move over Kim Jung Il this fella's open for business.
So they haven't written a line of real code for this thing yet. And they're going to ship it in 8 months? After they change the hardware and replace the current OS? Sounds like its going to be highly refined!
"you know, in Brazil, they got a giant statue standing like this... no... who knows who that guy is, but he's looks like a surfer...they surf all the time down there..."
Yeah because hes going to admit that is an Apple Prototype, Apple would be all over his ass.
Well, except we got that independent tip this morning with the exact same information NVIDIA gave us. I don't think there's any conspiracy here, chip company execs show off random ODM pipe dreams all the time.
If he had an Apple prototype, he would mysteriously commit suicide.
It has a Red Indicator Light around the "home" button. That is not Apple's style nor will it ever be.

As many commenters said in the previous post featuring this pic:

"Baby, I don't understand why you're so upset I stuck it in the wrong hole"
Jen-Hsun Huang: If you wanna throw it down lets go, punk... If you don't then I'm cool.
"And then the mf'rs turned me down for Tool Academy 3. Can you f'n believe that?"
I'm gonna open a can of whoopass on Intel. And this time I'm gonna follow the directions and aim away from self.
"He told me he was 18!!!"
Tablets are the future, bitch. Wanna fight about it?

"They tell me they want multi touch! I make it *Slams Table with hand*, now what son, Now WHAT!!

I believe I can touch the sky
I dream about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away

Look hun, I was in college, I was drunk, I didn't know anybody was in the mascot - I swear it was a one time thing
"Dude, you went to get lunch and didn't ask what i wanted?! WTF Man, WTF"
"No, the tablet is called the Angry Inch."
ATi rep politely sits down at an adjacent table...
J.H. slams down tablet...
"Yo, you ain't got nothin' on this.
What, you got something to say? Didn't think so, fool."
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?
Hey, Fuck Face. Now what, Now what.
That's right, no coaster! Watchu gonna do about it?
Huh?!
HUH?!!
That's what I though, bitch.
What do you mean we can't get away with rebranding again??
"Steve Job's ass was THIS BIG!"

What's GOOOOOD ATI?

"Hey you! The broad in the skirt! Yah you! Watch me lift this table off the ground with no hands"
"Fuck Intel! We have this... this will sell like hotcakes"
I present to you... my nipples... which can be used to adjust both the color saturation and brightness of this tablet through bluetooth technology.
Every time I see that image, it reminds me of this:
