What’s in store for the 27th?
Tomorrow is apple’s special event during which many are hopeful/expecting a new category of device to emerge. The tablet. Much as been written and speculated over the past few months (years even) about what this will be. Before tomoorow’s event hit, I wanted to put down my thoughts on what this thing might look like – not so much that i want to get my $.02 of speculation in, but rather to see how accurate a prediction I could make (maybe those are the same thing?)
So here goes:
- thin, aluminum device with a 10″ screen. As thin as an iPhone
- few hardware buttons or controls. Like the iPhone.
- runs a new version of mobile OSX – 4.0. This version will also run on the iPhone but maybe with slightly fewer features
- will run iPhone apps, but perhaps be more HD-like
- will connect in with iTunes and app store
- at least 32 GB flash memory (perhaps with 64 GB model for more $)
- weight around 16-20 oz (about 4 iPhones)
- 7+ hours of battery life
- wifi and Bluetooth
- GPRS radio for connecting to Internet and downloading content. On Verizon.
OK, that’s what I’m going with – let’s see how this looks tomorrow…
