Mock Up of What an Apple Tablet Might Look Like
It has become official that Apple will hold an event on January 26th. It is said the event will focus on “the mobile space.” No further details have been provided. Many have been foaming at the mouth for a tablet like device from Apple for years. It seems this dream might finally come to fruition soon. Rumors have it that Steve Jobs has mentioned repeatedly that this mystery device was not ready for prime time. It was recently leaked out that Jobs has finally given approval on a device that is like nothing out there. This all sounds somewhat familiar.
Lets rewind nearly four years, this situation sounds exactly like the pre-iphone era. The iPhone has changed the mobile world forever. Apps are now robust, phones are going touch screen, sleek and svelte are now terms associated with phones, and Apple is printing money.
Rumors of a tablet from Apple have been around for years. Everyone has been focused on an announcement in January and now with this event being official it can only be a matter of weeks until we know the truth. We have heard many different sizes mentioned for such a device but many believe it to be around 10 inches and similar looking to a large iPhone. Application developers have been asked to make their applications compatible with larger resolutions. Names have been found in patent filings including iSlate and iGuide.
Last year Apple announced they would no longer participate in future Macworld Expos. Apple stated they did not like being on a time table to announce things when the expo was being held. Obviously with Apple holding their own event this year so close to Macworld Expo, the organizers of the expo can not be very happy. One thing is obvious, Apple does not need Macworld to create a buzz. Apple aficionados are foaming at the mouth and ready to buy anything Apple is ready to release. Apple is on fire and they have found the secret to printing money, have Steve Jobs on your team.
