the ability to drive a projector for native Keynote and PowerPoint presentations, the earth will crumble into tiny little pieces and be swept up by an enormous iRoomba. The day the Mac reaches 25% worldwide, Windows will be history in three years.
Then you could run what software you liked, instead of what Apple tells you you can run.
And Apple can't make a cut of the proceeds neither with your suggestion!
OH we can't have that, no frigging way!!!
Well *whew*! There was so much softness in the detractor department on this thread, I was beginning to feel the need to start declaiming a bit against all the wistful goodness n fantasy for this device. Just when I was all primed to launch into a
"It's all crap I tell you, you fanboi, delusional sheep! it won't do half of what you wish for, it will suxxors in form factor, be slow as hell and uncomfortable to put in your back pocket! And Apple charges too much for their crap anyway, and gouges the devs mercilessly! And eveyone knows there's nothing, NOTHING but fart apps and lighter apps and stupid pron apps in the App Store anyways! You all are such tools!"
But thankfully 'Trip stepped in and set the record straight. Nice snark buddy - keep 'em coming! AI needs massive reality checks every step of the way and yer just the one to do it! Especially among us poor deluded sheeples in the posts.

Sheep and perpetual doubters both need reality checks, what MacTripper said wasn't one though.
Perhaps two-finger swipes will be used for switching between apps running simultaneously.
I would guess 4 fingers to keep it in line with the multitouch track pads expose activation. 3 would be the minimum, some apps already use 2 finger swipes.
I say that Steve or whoever, does the announcement, and at sometime, loads, launches, Ms. Packman, Asteroids or some other game from the 70's and plays it!
Maybe a typo, but you may be showing your age, or I'm showing mine. Those are early 80's games.
I would hope for better demos than rehashing 30 year old games! There's nothing exciting if you played them then.

Exactly why it probably won't have a full blown Snow Leopard OS. I have an iPhone, a MacBook Pro, and a Mac Pro. The rumored tablet should fall somewhere between the iPhone and the MacBook Pro in power and capabilities with its own version of OSX. Why should it be a replacement to some other device? Just like my toolbox in my garage. I have a finish hammer, a framing hammer, rubber mallet and a sledge hammer. I just select the best tool for any given job.

Imagine it accepting the entire palm as a gesture?!
On second thought, I think x-rated apps will remain verboten.
Apple, please focus on delivering the iMac 27" everyone is expecting and waiting for since mid-December .
How many failed X-mas presents
The same Ships: 2 weeks is there for more than 4 weeks .
Strange enough, the Refurb only proposes C2D 27", as if the i5 / i7 were not suitable for a refurb, despite all the fuss about the broken screen and the graphic card \
What's the need for a new gizmo if you can't deliver

Stop trolling and thread jacking! This thread has nothing to do with iMacs.

Agreed, a hammer is a good tool. Most times they are a lot faster than screwdrivers!

Except of course that the MacBook line is down to one machine instead of three or four like before.
So whatever the iSlate is, it's being planned on replacing the laptop eventually and it's going to start with the lower units, education etc and work it's way up to the pro machines.
Comments
Again, I have no idea why almost everyone presumes that the Tablet will sport iPhone software?...
And this statement:
I would love someone to bet for a watered down (but proper) Mac OS!
Are basically equivalent.
The iPhone OS *is* a slightly watered down (but proper) version of OS-X.
It's 100% OS-X with a few things that don't make sense in the new context removed, and a GUI that's "proper" for the new hardware.
OH NO!!!
Then you could run what software you liked, instead of what Apple tells you you can run.

The reality check was returned for insufficient funds?
Yes, but how about the easy UI AND the choice to run what apps you want? from wherever you want?
How?s Java working out for the consumer?

In a good sense, i e they are just magnificent or in a bad way, i e does not work?
Strange way of putting it. If there is something I don't think Apple does ever in any lifetime is to release a non working product!
"out of control" is always positive unless uttered in a psych ward.

It's the future and it's closed.
Agreed

What does Java got to do with Apple allowing apps to run on the iSlate outside the App Store?
