I actualy was thinking that it would somehow could be posible to make a device like that.
there are some “games” with webcams that you can simulate a 3dimensional caracter that stands on your desk, and if you see what TED is making.
so I guess you could combine both…?

This would actualy be a realy new kind of interface that would blow everyone’s mind if this works precisly and accurate. So why not to think apple can make such a device as well,
especialy when they are working on it since such a long time, and now relay fond of the result…

and when you go along thinking of it as a large ipod with just some new features i guess you could expect SSD or more RAM, but I think, if there is a new lightweight operating system and there would be some major updates in new kind of interface, why make it even more expensive with faster components like SSD or more RAM,
A core 2 duo can handle much more then an iphone, and if you intend it running lighter programs then on a dekstop or laptop, that should do just fine?

it might not exist at all, but I like to think this is something that can be made in the future…

Um a Clouded Leopard is a Snow Leopard. Different names for same cat. So I think very clever. If all is true. Can’t see a hard drive other than an SSD really being in a tablet though. Would think a 64GB or 128GB SSd drive sufficient but wouldn’t be surprised if there were different options up to 256GB. Would think 8GB RAM exceptional but great if true.

I first thought about the HD, but then again, that’s the same type of drive that’s in the iPod classic. A 120 GB 1.8-inch 4200 rpm SATA drive exists and is relatively small. On the other hand, I’m not sure it’s the right kind of drive to be seen in a tablet.

I’m surprised no one saw the SATA hard drive (non-solid state??) and called bullshit upon seeing that. How would a tablet fit a traditional hard drive in it? And why wouldn’t Apple just put SSD(s) in?

Neofelis nebulosa

(and let’s hope that whatever the OS is, it’s not iPhone OS.. I like the clouded leopard idea!)

Clouded leop….yeah, and they forgot to mention the Islate also includes Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, too.

Complete fake. The data center in NC would need to be in place and operational, before potentially millions of these things could be “run” from the Internet. Long way to go on this…

The idea of a “clouded leopard” OS for this thing is actually what makes me think it is quite possibly real. That is to say if it didn’t have the “v10.7″ along with it. There have been countless tidbits pointing to apple getting into the cloud OS game and there is absolutely no question that the tablet will have its very own flavor of OSX so putting the two together makes perfect sense.

Now if only it weren’t for the 10.7 and ridiculous other specs (not to mention generic apple letterhead) I would have gotten all excited.
