Holy crap. They called it the iPad.

Updating Apple TV to officially surf (safari) and screen syncing it with a new tablet or even Iphone/ipodtouch could have a dramatic affect when browsing the internet on a large flat screen TV as this can suffer from many of the same draw backs (text too small/unclear to read) as with an Iphone which it solved with multi touch (pinching etc.) By controlling an Apple TV browser with a tablet/iphone would finally mean that Large flat screen browsing from the comfort of ones Sofa could finally be done without compromised (unlike my PS3). I may be missing some new tech development which covers this and will be only to happy to be corrected/enlightened in some way.

Lol, way to be subtle, mate.

Tabslate? In my humble opinion, that’s got to be one of the lamest things I’ve heard. Also, there’s no point in trying to categorise devices anymore, because they’re quickly blending in functionality.

Apple’s new device will not be called the iPad. If they do, I’ll eat my hat. Apple can’t risk being made fun of.

Apple’s new device may or may not change the way we use computers. It might change the way we think about human-computer interaction, certainly. But to say that it will definitely change the way we use computers is going a bit far. If you want to learn about something that will change the way we use computers, check out the wikipedia article on quantum computing.

And the reason your previous comment was deleted is the same reason your current one is also a candidate for deletion: you’re trying to advertise some domain names you’ve bought. You might ultimately find some buyers, but “tabslate” is just too odd for Apple to care about.

Have a good day.

Apple TV and the Apple mini missed the mark and my guess is that a 10″ tablet when cooler heads prevail, will receive lukewarm consumer acceptance. Giving up a real keyboard is a big deal and when you have to plunk down over $500 (my guess) to do so, the cool factor will give away to cooler heads. I like all the hype and competitive pressure that may force others to take a bite out of all the hype that apple has generated. Better yet those who buy a tablet will likely be dumping their I-Touch on e-bay and my daughter is just hoping that is the case. I can use a spare Netbook for myself and expect to see price reductions in the next 60 days.

Let’s see if Apples desire for drama works or backfires.

I posted a comment earlier which seems to have disappeared? Maybe this Blog really does censor comments…
At any rate I stated that the newest apple devise actually belongs in the category that I call “TABSLATES”. Tabslates are basically handheld computers that are larger than IPHONES but smaller than Laptops. Apple’s new tabslate will probably be called IPAD and will definitely change the way we all use computers. There are some rumors out there that state this product could have sales over 10 Million in it’s first year. By the way, if anyone knows how to contact Steve, tell him we have the domains for tabslate.com, mytabslate.com, and itabslate.com available…The tabslates are coming…the tabslates are coming…

I think the iSlate can be a great device for mobile TV. Maybe the iSlate will use MediaFlo for TV reception.

Sharing files with iTunes is user-unfriendly and unreliable, but at least it’s not entirely impossible. But just consider a household with several macs AND several iPhones. It quickly becomes a nightmare.

Adding a mac tablet into the mix can only complicate matters further, especially if the tablet is as closed and restricted as an iPhone.

At least with iTunes you can copy your files outside of iTunes to another mac and import them there.
