Robert Scoble has departed the halls of Microsoft but that hasn’t stopped him from stirring the FUD pot and his latest comments on his blog are interesting to say the least. He has mentioned that Apple is going to announce a lot of cool things really soon and this comment is particularly intriguing:
I believe Vista DOES make our computing lives easier. The desktop search features are a huge advance. The multimedia capabilities are WORLDS ahead of anything else I’ve used. And the Tablet PC, Speech Recognition, and Media Center stuff that’s in there is WORLDS ahead of Apple. Although watch Apple in a week. Hint hint.
Some folks are interpreting that to mean an iTablet announcement from Apple and while I think that would be awesome my opinion is he’s probably indicating some sort of Media Center product from Cupertino. He’s not shedding any further light on the topic, probably afraid of all those big bad lawyers at Apple. It will be interesting to see what Apple does.
