So, I guess there are three possibilities.
1) I larger ipod touch.
2) A smaller "netbook" sized laptop.
3) A touch screen tablet, running os x.
I'm _really_ hoping that it's the 3rd one. But, I guess we'll find out by years end.

Does that mean you're guessing for my option #1. Basically a larger ipod touch?
I hope not!!
I really, really, hope that they go a step further and make it a full OSX tablet. -

Re: Apple orders 10" touch screens
Thu, March 12, 2009 - 1:31 AMNope, I was being silly. I hate the idea of the new newton. The iPod Touch is perfect. Trying to upscale it is asinine. It does have some limitations that could be resolved by a tablet/book model, but making use of the multitouch tech or the new reactive learning keyboard (took a while, but I'm a believer) could make a tablet a wonder. Add in a stylus mode for a serious paint program, and an actual OS for more mainstream applications like .... Oh, I dunno, How about a word processing program? I don't think I'd want to try building HTML pages on a Touch, but with a larger screen and the ability to store files and I think you've got something.
I think that's where people run into problems with the iPhone/Touch. They're still thinking of it as a computer because it does so much. And the people who think it's a Palm don't really get it either. You have to accept it for what it is and the power of the device suddenly blossoms.

Out of curiosity, why?

Mon, March 23, 2009 - 3:20 PMWell really I'd just like to have an Apple netbook. If it comes with a touchscreen, fine, as long as it also comes with a keyboard.
