I don't even think that the fact that it has been rooted was mentioned. Regardless, I am working on a port of Hero to the Cliq. I already have the rom up and running.

The only caveat for iSlate a.k.a apple tablet is this: To settle that buzz like what they did to iPod/iPhone is to set a new technological-standards that the tablet industry can’t resist on following. Much like infusing a ‘minority like 3D technology’ on a tablet, more on the details about iSlate: http://bit.ly/new-apple-tablet-best-or-worst

It's possible that they sell 50 million iSlates

IF iTunes Book Store does for print media what iTunes Music Store has done for music (which it absolutely will, if they open it up to all devices)

IF it's thinner and sexier than any 10inch tablet in existence (which it absolutely will be, no doubt about it, though the bar isn't exactly set high right now).

IF it has an optional wireless/attachable (think magnetic) keyboard that effectively turns it into a macbook, in addition to an automatic kickstand on the device which turns it into a picture frame form factor

IF it does handwriting as well as it does finger presses

IF Apple develops a 2 handed, 10 finger multitouch QWERTY keyboard with predictive input that's smart enough for you to be able to confidently type without ever having to look down at the "keys"

IF they introduce 1080p output

IF It's offered in 3G variety for $599 on contract or less, and decreasing to $99 on contract, 2 years later (same as iPhone)

Gartenberg's right. It'll be the iPhone all over again, if they play it right. Everyone's all hung up on hard specs, when they mean the least of anything. Something new and exciting, something sexy with amazing user experience, and groundbreaking features are what sells devices, not a blah blah ghz blah blah blah.

Have you been to the Apple's R&D labs and played around with the tablet to know what it is and thus be so certain? That's right, you haven't. So you have no clue what this tablet is or what it can do; Apple has said zero about it so the only fool I see is you for making conclusions on something you don't know about.]]>Dec 28th 2009 11:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/entelligence-islate-or-just-uwish/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/entelligence-islate-or-just-uwish/
I think he is planning the same thing. Do something extraordinarily different and fulfill the worlds starving teet. Ease of access, and overall experience, with a bump of the "Oh wow" is all they are gonna need to make huge sales.

Apple is counting on all the idiots generating this hype to buy one of these things that they don't need, and Apple will win, and it will become another "successful Apple device", but more like another successful Apple con. They're giving people something they don't know they need yet, but will know the minute they have it in their hands.

I meant what I said. Look at the post below you for more clarification. It could be the swiss army knife of tablets or it could just be a huge flop. It could double up as an e-reader, or it could just be a larger iPod touch. Who knows? I'll wait until it's out to decide if I need one or even really want one.]]>Dec 29th 2009 3:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/entelligence-islate-or-just-uwish/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/entelligence-islate-or-just-uwish/Dec 30th 2009 6:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/entelligence-islate-or-just-uwish/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/entelligence-islate-or-just-uwish/Dec 28th 2009 6:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/entelligence-islate-or-just-uwish/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/entelligence-islate-or-just-uwish/Dec 28th 2009 6:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/entelligence-islate-or-just-uwish/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/entelligence-islate-or-just-uwish/Jesus. ]]>Dec 28th 2009 7:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/entelligence-islate-or-just-uwish/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/entelligence-islate-or-just-uwish/Dec 28th 2009 7:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/entelligence-islate-or-just-uwish/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/entelligence-islate-or-just-uwish/Dec 28th 2009 11:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/entelligence-islate-or-just-uwish/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/entelligence-islate-or-just-uwish/]]>Dec 28th 2009 6:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/entelligence-islate-or-just-uwish/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/entelligence-islate-or-just-uwish/Dec 28th 2009 6:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/entelligence-islate-or-just-uwish/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/entelligence-islate-or-just-uwish/So true.

If Acer were rumoured to be launching a tablet there'd be very little hype. That's because Acer aren't an established design powerhouse and proven industry game changer. Apple generate hype because they've already launched one extremely disruptive device in the last 3 years. The iPhone was absolutely seismic in the Mobile industry; every manufacturer since then has tried to emulate it in one way or another. They may - or may not - be capable of doing it again and so they are worth the hype.]]>Dec 30th 2009 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/entelligence-islate-or-just-uwish/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/entelligence-islate-or-just-uwish/Dec 28th 2009 6:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/entelligence-islate-or-just-uwish/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/entelligence-islate-or-just-uwish/I read it, but I agree that it needs to go away.

I understand that it seems kind of troll-like, which is why I'm only going to do this this one time. But I did want to express the view that I don't know why Engadget would devote the space to an invited author in a regular column when so many people disagree with what he has to say, whereas Engadget's regular writers don't engender that level of disagreement.
