The upcoming Apple Tablet Is there a thread?

[minniebeth]

I can't wait to see all the details!

 

[OK!]

Me either! I won't buy one because my iPhone 3GS and laptop (Win) do everything I need them to (and because I know I'll be getting the new iPhone when it launches in June or whenever), but I love hearing about new gadgets!

The Apple news conference/announcement is scheduled for 10am Pacific Time (which will be 1pm Eastern and 12 Noon Central.

agnes!

Should be fun to see what they've come up with.

I have to think it is more than a Super-Sized iTouch the way some are reporting. Given all the delays ..... there HAS to be more to it than just added growth hormones.

I won't be buying one for myself but DH might get one as a birthday present if it looks interesting enough.

I looked on here yesterday and almost started one. I am so excited to see what they are coming out with.

I have an Iphone, but I seriously think I might upgrade to the tablet if it met my needs instead of getting a new laptop. My laptop is needing an upgrade, so I might be interested in something a little more portable than my laptop but a little more functional in surfing, typing, etc. than the I-phone. The I-phone is great for quick things on the fly, but just think how nice a tablet would be at Disney or on vacation instead of lugging a laptop (which I have before).

Thanks!!! Wow!
I'm not a techie, but since I have no laptop, iphone, etc. sounds like I'm a perfect candidate!

 

[OK!]

Interesting note from MacRumors:

- Disney Chairman and CEO Bob Iger is present, possibly suggesting a content deal of some sort with Apple to be announced.

Whatever that content is, pls bring it to the iPhone as well. Kthxbai.
