Apple iSlate?

 

Are Apple, Inc. about to release the highly anticipated tablet device? I just can't imagine Apple not releasing this soon, as soon as January this year. Some predictions from various sources are hinting at an 8 inch screen that will, I believe, be something like a hybrid mac osx with iPod touch interface. I don't think this will be a replacement mac but a more powerful locked down device.

 

With both Microsoft and HP introducing tablets this week at CES, it does appear that the Apple tablet looks more and more of a reality. I am not a total mac fanboy but I just have more confidence that the Apple branded tablet will be a better more friendly device.

A few rumors that I have heard :

 

  • Multiple wireless carriers?
  • 8-10 inch screen with high resolution (oled)?
  • Incredible user interface that will not be expected?
  • Front facing camera?
  • Cortex A9 CPU?
  • AppStore integration
  • iSlate name?
  • January 26th announcement?
  • Cost rumored to be $700-$1000

 

It sure will be exciting! More to come soon.

Looks like everything is just slotting right into place for a really slipstreamed WWDC.  Apple just released iTunes 8.2 which is very important because it adds support for OS 3.0.  The question is, how long will we have to wait for 3.0 software after WWDC?

You can get your iTunes update via Apple update, or from below :-

Quote "Initiatives will Deliver Faster Speeds, Enhancements to Mobile Broadband Performance, Availability" - AT&T

att-logoIt appears that AT&T have released a press statement that confirms that they will be starting to roll out starting this year a faster 3G network and hopefully completed in 2011. This is great news and will be well received.

From Source:

"The upgrade to High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) 7.2 technology is part of AT&T’s plan for continued investments to deliver the nation’s best mobile broadband experience – the ideal combination of speed, coverage and best device line-up. AT&T today has the nation’s fastest 3G network and has attracted more than twice the number of smart phone users than any other competitor.

 

With its network built on the 3G UMTS technology that is commonly deployed throughout the world, AT&T can boost the speed of its mobile broadband network and offer a wide variety of devices to take advantage of it well in advance of 2011-2012, when most industry observers expect 4G LTE networks and device availability to scale. AT&T plans to begin LTE trials in 2010, with deployment beginning in 2011."

Apple comments on "Shocking" ear buds for iPhone and iPod PDF Print E-mail

Apple LogoWhy Pick on Apple?  This could happen to anybody.


According to a report from Apple on Monday, some iPhone and iPod users have been experiencing a little shock on their iPods or other digital music players due to a buildup of static electricity. Apple’s support site showed a few viewers had voiced concern about the condition. It is likened to the type of shock you get when you drag your feet across the carpet. It is not necessarily a malfunction of the product as static can build up on any hardware, however, they did offer some suggestions to help. Since the condition is worse in extremely dry areas, they suggested buying a humidifier, using hand lotion to moisturize your hands, or using anti-static spray.

We, here at Apps in Review, wonder if next time you call Apple about mp3 players, you may also hear about the iHumidifier, the iLotion and the iSpray. Maybe it will even come in a big kit with arm straps.
