Is an Apple Tablet the next trick up Steve's sleeve?
If you’ve been hanging out in, on or around the Internet any time in the past month or so, you’re probably aware that Apple is rumored to be announcing a tablet device during a press event tomorrow.
What will it do? How will we interact with it? Will it change computing forever?
The web rumor mill has been cranked up to 11 for this, so we’ll go ahead and skip all the things we’ve heard from various players in the magazine, book, newspaper, game and mobile carrier arenas. Instead, we humbly present our own (totally speculative) predictions for tomorrow’s reveal:
Name: iPad
Price: $599 (“under $600!”)
Screen: 10 inch, LCD
Storage: at least 64GB, possibly a cloud option
Battery: 10 hours
OS: iPhone OS
Camera: A front-facing camera that recognizes users.
Back: Chrome/aluminum with a stripe of plastic like the original iPhone.
Wireless: Wi-Fi, and 3G data from Verizon.
Surprises: Plenty.
(By the way, the folks at Gizmodo are running a prediction contest where the winner gets the Apple tablet when it comes out. You can give it a try here.)
