Marc mentions Rob's post about the Apple Tablet rumors. According to Rob's source:
I have no less than 5 sources saying an Apple Tablet announcement is due soon. Or something, as some of these press people (Apple diehards at that), who normally cared not about Tablets, and thought it was all just Microsoft vaporware, are suddenly so interested in the Tablet PC concept, and asking tons of questions. Pretty easy to read those tea leaves, so somethings up.
What's perhaps more interesting is that this source also seemed to be on the money for the Intel announcement:
And the Intel talks are for battery saving Sonoma-like Powerbook and Tablet tech, I'd heard this 3-4 weeks ago from 3 sources, and other sources talked as it just hit WSJ today. Everyone is speculating just ARM or Embedded hits per iPod or like, but I'd heard more for Powerbooks...etc.
Time will tell, but it would be an interesting move indeed, especially in light of the move to Intel chips. How cool would it be if I I could buy an Apple Tablet and dualboot with XP Tablet Edition? Or, better yet, load OSX Tablet on my M200? In fact, if OS X86 is already in the wild, I wonder if I can get some Linux handwriting recognition software...
