The OS better be Mac OS X. If it is iPhone OS like it could suck, because you are simply limited to what you can do on iPhone.

Do people want a tablet, but have been unhappy with existing attempts at making tablet computers? Or do people simply hear a rumor that there will be an Apple Tablet, and assume that Apple will make it something that they'll want?

I hope it's the latter. In my experience, tablet PC's are useful for only niche things because, well, there are a lot of things you want to do with a computer that involve entering text and there's a reason we have keyboards as opposed to writing everything out by hand.

Maybe they are going to release the tablet at the music event since they had to get all of this Snow Leopard stuff out first. Seems kind of odd that the required OS update has come out so close to the music event doesn't it?

In defense of the article, this marks the first time that the keyboard pallette is freely resizable.

In previous versions the keyboard would only toggle between 2 sizes small and slightly larger

It says "then goes and adds a new virtual keyboard". It doesn't say, for the first time, It's just updated...

These keyboards have been in OSX for a LONG time. I started using it in Tiger.

No. No. The iTablet will run with the stone age Tiger OS. No. No. Actualy Windows Vista will drive the iTablet. Wouldn't that be swellllll?

Check your current Leopard (and maybe even older OSes). They have this virtual keyboard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I often use this to type out my passwords in case there is some keyloggers.

Jeez, do some research guys (you and other blog sites).

This is NOT NEW!!!

Sounds good. I still don't think it's going to be launched next week, or did you guys already debunked that ? I haven't been keeping up.

MY bet is OSX tablet with a visualization layer to run iphone apps in.

Apple could run iPhone apps sort of like desktop widgets. Technically the only hard part of that would be the need for a processor emulation layer if the iTablet is not ARM powered.

Heck, even Microsoft sports an ARM Emulator, and there are a lot of opensource ARM emulators to rip off.

Gawd I hope this blog does not decay into a iTablet blog.

all we know is that the ITablet is comming, but we still dont know when. so this is something we already know...(the itablet will be running what ever new OS apple has in this case it will be Snow Leopard.
