The Long Awaited Apple Tablet
In less than 24 hours, at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Apple is expected to unveil a new hardware product category at their special Media Event. It’ll be a product announcement so major that it is being compared to the likes if the iPhone launch in 2007 and Macintoshes moving to Intel processors in 2005. We’re talking about a new product category rather than simply another new product, and it has been reported that Steve Jobs was heard saying the Apple Tablet “will be the most important thing I’ve ever done.”
McGraw-Hill CEO has also been reported as confirming the Apple Tablet, which will run the iPhone OS. This was in an interview on CNBC, so I imagine this is must be pretty reliable… not that industry watchers needed any further affirmation of the product’s existence.
So, the event will be 2am Singapore time tomorrow morning, which I’m sure enough news sites will provide up-to-the-minute coverage of the Media Event, particularly the unveiling of the new product.
I’m interested to find out how this new product category will change things. Personally, I rather work off a notebook. I can’t imagine a tablet (at least not of the size that the Apple Tablet has been rumoured to be) being sufficiently comfortable to do productive work. So I suppose this new tablet will target a new kind of market, different from how other tablets have done.
