With news coming from Crave.co.uk, rumor has it that Apple is currently developing it’s own version of the tablet PC right now. The details are as follows: Asus (Apple’s contract manufacturer) is assisting in the design and prototyping of a new tablet-based computer. As the primary issue with a tablet PC is the interface, Apple shouldn’t have any serious problems developing a solid piece of technology: it has some of the best interface design personnel in technology today. With the iPhone and iPod Touch as clear demonstrations of how proficient Apple is at integrating the input devices into a screen, a tablet PC is a logical extension of the skillful implementation of such an interface. Interestingly enough, this isn’t the first time an Apple tablet has been mentioned…
With Macworld 2008 coming up in Early January, we may hear some developing news about this, but, given the ambiguity of Crave’s information, there may also be no official announcement until well into the 3rd quarter of fiscal year 2008. Either way, it’s a good bet there’s at least some high-level design and discussion occurring with regard to a new Mac platform; the form of which we don’t know yet.
