    Almost without a doubt... the resurrection of the REAL iBook.

    How will this new product be powered? How will it re-charge? How will it interact with other computers? Through iTunes? Or could it be networked and re-charged via USB? Could I take notes on it with a stylus?

    The future of reading, really. Books, magazines, newspapers . . . all on your "iBook."

    Also, could I connect input devices or other peripherals to it?

    Since we have iPod and iPhone, I think its appropriate to name the tablet something along the lines of:

    iPage

    iPad

    iPlate

    iPal

    iPot

    iPoke

    .

    .

    .

    and finally iPass

    - New Tablet (likely, but folks have been talking about it now for a year or so)

    - iPhone available from more places???

    - New Desktop units, not to exciting but it would be nice

    - New Monitors - again, it would be nice, but not BIG news

    - Tying a bunch of Apple stuff together i.e, ipad, works seamlessly, with iPods, iPhone, iTV, iTunes

    iRent ? you pay, iMake (more money) iHappy





    Might Steve and folks turn this into their own personal MacExpo and announce a ton of new, up-dated stuff?

    Please. You know your beside yourself with giddy excitement about it. Hello???? The Apple tablet, the device naysayers said that didn't exist, is actually about to debut. It has always existed as a prototype in Apple's secret labs for several years now even before the iphone.



    The Newton is about to be reborn! A new era in personal computing is about to begin....all lead by Apple.



    And I said, I wanted someone to photoshop Steve Jobs' face in place of that space baby from the 2001: space odessey obelisk!

    Yeah. Change the tablet to be superficially like a tablet and have that floating space baby look like Steve. If you do it good enough I betcha the tech blogs would pick it up. Certainly gizmodo would go for a pic like that.

    I have no such skills. I can annotate photos in Preview, but that is the extent of it.

    I'd be lying if I said I wasn't expecting "something" out of Apple soon, I mean, really! Hardly any Earth-shattering announcements out of our favorite Cupertino-based company in a while could make a fella listless and unresponsive.

    Can I preorder the tablet thingy, whatever it is? Coming from Steve it must be something I will want after the announcement. Do they take preorders?



    Oh, and I need a new quad-core MBP with a 1TB 7200rpm HDD, please. For that I have been saving money for some time now. It's long overdue.



    Can't wait!

    Why can't they run both Mac OS X apps and iPhone OS apps?



    The only reason why iPhone apps don't run on my iMac or MacBook Pro is because Apple currently doesn't want them to...



    This tablet will be more than a big iPod Touch...

    Pesky for developers, maybe.



    As a consumer I'm thrilled someone is enforcing minimum standards for once. I also like tha there is a way for bad or malicious code to be removed from the ecosystem after the fact.



    Is it perfect? Nope - there is definitely room for improvement, but the fundimental concept is good and has significant value.

    Yes. The fundamental concept is sound. But the execution has been a bit shaky. what is astounding though is that the competition is not noting the fault's of the app store and coming out with something better.

    Instead, they are making similar mistakes and new ones that simply did not have to be made.



    Amazing.
