Apple's New Toy

[Smacktalks]

...Shall be announced at the Apple Special Event tomorrow.

IGN are doing a live blog from the show if your interested in finding out what it is during the show, here.

Seeing as it's 99.9% certain to be a tablet PC, i'm kind of interested in getting one if the price is right, although there's no way i'll be paying more for a tablet than I would for a regular laptop, no matter how shiny they make it.

Anyone else interested in it?

So it turns out it's nothing more than a massive iPod Touch, not interested.

To me, touchscreens will always be a novelty. Sure, it's pretty cool at first, but it isn't that practical. I do think it would be pretty handy for designers on the go. I wouldn't mind having one, but it's far from ground breaking. I would much rather have the Lenovo S10-3t.

I wouldn't mind one for browsing the net, I think it'd be better than a netbook, although there's quite a lot of things that Apple seem to have completley left out.

Namely:

TV Out

Flash Player

Camera

Regular USB (For camera's, etc.)

Ability to run multiple apps

Actually Gizmodo seem to have covered most of these points and more pretty well here.

Wow I made a comment that I thought the iPad was the latest innovation in feminine hygiene on facebook a day ago without ever seeing that. I knew it was funny...

EDIT - This is what happens when you dont go on the internet for a few days; apparently everyone made that fucking joke. Now I look like a loser stealing internet jokes, internet jokes suck. Fuck this shit.
