I'm behind the curve....what's the point of tablets? -- nm - ty97 Jan 4, 17:52 10
- It's an iPhone with less pinching. -- nm - psilotum Jan 4, 17:54 9
  - i guess that all depends on what rumor you belive. some say it will be itouch os, others say full OS. ty should go to gizmodo or engadget and search - tRuMaN Jan 4, 17:56 8
    - It's not just Apple, though, right? There are rumors of other vendors making tablets. What's the tablet market's angle? -- nm - ty97 Jan 4, 17:57 7
      - I love my iPod touch. It mostly gets used at home, though, and I'd be delighted if the screen was twice as big. -- nm - psilotum Jan 4, 18:00
      - well, yes and no. some tablets are basically mini pcs without a keyboard. others are like the kindle, only do specific things. - tRuMaN Jan 4, 17:59
      - opening up the world of printed media to being pirated and then complaining about it... -- nm - stewie Jan 4, 17:57 4
        
        you realize that ebooks have been available via torrent sites for over 5 yrs now right? - tRuMaN Jan 4, 18:00 1
        
        uh yeah... but the market is slim to none - stewie Jan 4, 18:03
        
        no they are not notebook replacements, then. -- nm - ty97 Jan 4, 17:59 1
        
        They certainly could be. But I don't think Apple would do that. -- nm - psilotum Jan 4, 18:02
no,, but i might buy a $600 apple tablet - tRuMaN Jan 4, 17:49 4
- the WSJ story seems to be the most credible (and recent) - stewie Jan 4, 17:54 3
  - Is the software more like a Mac, an iPhone, or something in the middle? -- nm - psilotum Jan 4, 17:55 2
    - tis the question. i would guess the middle, sorta like windows mobile. also, many credible sources have said there would be two editions, like - tRuMaN Jan 4, 18:02
    - I'm guessing in the middle... neither end seems reasonable -- nm - stewie Jan 4, 17:57
