Imagined Images of Apple's Tablet
The Boy Genius relayed another possible image (first in gallery below) of Apple’s tablet this morning. Engadget and Gizmodo dutifully posted in kind. When I look at that image I see a fake, a fake with bad enough ascetics that I want to write about it. Two problems jump out; the asymmetrical width of the top and bottom screen borders as well as the Home button, glaringly recessed into the bezel. If it were real I would be disappointed.
Personally I don’t think the Apple Tablet will be a larger iPhone/Touch styled device. I think to look at it will give you more sense of an Apple Computer proper. That is to think of a strong aluminum frame with lines like a Macbook then giving over to the curved black backing of an iMac, minus the hard edges. Not unlike the iPhone really but an with an air of difference. I also think this device will work with Bluetooth keyboards and mice and it will run a nearly complete build of OSX, with a switch mode for the Touch OS. My last possibly wishful prediction is that while having a capacitive touch screen, it will also work and write well with a pen accessory.
In the not too distant future all these images will be novel but I’ve included a few for fun them for being fun. An image search for Apple Tablet patents gives lots of ideas for our pad computer future, beginning or announced sometime in September hopefully.
