- 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
