yeah we wont tell anyone. Well except those who follow us on Twitter… and maybe the people who read my blog, but other than that, not a soul. Your secret is safe with us.
I am assuming that what you are not using will be over priced closed, proprietary, with a built in battery, a lock in to itunes and development of applications will require a Mac. In other words another. What would really be exciting and radical would be for Apple to celebrate 2010 by opening up the platform – both software and hardware, remove the need to use itunes, stop installing software that users had not requested, take security seriously and have a predictable transparent patch schedule. Now that would be a revolution. We can but hope but some how I think it will be a long time before that happens.
Have a great start to 2010 and thanks for a great web site.
Exactly. I like Microsoft, but what I really love about them is the fact I can run any hardware and software I want… not just what they want me to use.
In other words the best tablet/slate on the planet. Sorry dude, but no need to “open up” what is already the best and largest mobile development platform the world has ever seen. It just works. Apple IS the revolution…sit back and enjoy !
I am assuming that underneath all that sarcasm you’re an envious person who *wants* to run OS X, doesn’t want to play by the rules, and is bitter about the whole thing.
If you want such an open, wonderful platform then go download the latest Ubuntu Linux distro and stop complaining.
Apple has no need to open their platform – they’re making money, they have a large, growing base of loyal customers, and nobody can compete design-wise with their platforms.
In what alternate reality would it make sense for them to open up and let others play in their sandbox? IBM did that with the original PC and look what happened to them.
nope I used OSX, I was not impressed. It felt like a guilded cage, ok as long as you want to do things the “Apple” way. Tried Linux and it was ok, though it does not run most of the applications I use. It was just a pain when I needed to install anything.
Funny enough Windows provides me with the open platform that works for me. I can run what I want and from whoever I want without restrictions. I just don’t feel restricted.
Apple is just a company I find so difficult to respect and I think it is the closed nature of what they do in terms of software and hardware.
Cool. I am not making this comment on the Apple Tablet’s Safari browser.
I’ll have a white tablet, if only in my dreams.
This was written on a ageing Motion tablet that is waiting to be replaced.
Why do I not believe you ?? You have been sneaky in the past with little teasers!
Go on tell us all what it is like! You know it makes sense!

TechCrunch?
Archos 9 if you ask me.
Do we get the device if we figure out what it is? :)
JooJoo?
no, it has to be the Archos 9, hoping it was a MAC :(
This comment was NOT typed on a Toshiba TG03 either.
James, I suggest you keep these posts for 4/1! :)
