I don't think apple has announced a tablet PC... if that's what it is.

Interesting. Looks exactly like an iPhone but bigger and with a slightly wider aspect ratio.
It stands to reason that while Apple was taking out patents on the iPhone they would throw in some "iPhone but bigger" stuff, whether there were any immediate plans to make one or not.
this is the new imac for ya.... it will probably come with a dock.
On the contrary I think is for the new ultra-portable, and guess what? It's gonna be a tablet, not a notebook.
Logic Pro 8 should be incredible.
Actually, that patent is for the ES2 synthesizer in Logic, which as of right now is about 4-5 years old. Still very good
Will you guys please listen to this answer. Its the answer.

I'm sure Mr. Jobs and the boys already have their hands in this somehow.
That tablet PC looks pretty cool, and I can see where Apple will be leading the pack based on the iPhone touch screen patents.

These videos have been over posted alot, i did too.

dude, you have to be mad... iMac ≠ portable ... iMac = Desktop.
Lemme know where you are when the new iMacs are released, so I can laugh at your disappointment.
--EDIT--
Wow, now that I look back at this, I'm surprised at how rude that last part was... it had been a long day, I apologise for that ^^;

Off topic.....

Yes, but it will be called "Logic Studio" not Logic Pro 8.
Can't seem to find any info about newer Apple external audio interfaces. I would have guessed that for the above Sculpture software to make waves, higher quality audio I/O would be the thing ...
( http://www.apple.com/logicpro/sculpture.html )
Not really. As complex or simple as any software instrument is, they are all software, and live completely "in the box."
Sculpture is a software instrument and doesn't rely on any kind of external audio i/o to make waves. All it needs is a computer, which includes a digital to analog converter to get whatever waves it creates in software a way out into the real world. You can use Sculpture and hear it through the internal speaker if you wanted to.
However, the a/d converter that comes with the Mac won't do a very impressive job of converting all those zeroes and ones into lovely analog waves that can be sent through the air and force your eardrums to sympathetically vibrate in a way that doesn't sound like ass. That is why people buy more expensive external audio i/o: so that it sounds good. An external interface can also deal with simultaneous multiple i/o instead of just one.
After tinkering internally on audio interfaces of their own design (the disclosure of which caused a legal headache for this site...), Apple has now teamed up with Apogee, which makes industry standard digital converters and audio interfaces. The relationship between Apple and Apogee has already beared fruit, but not without problems identifying the line that defines who is responsible for what (i.e. driver development).
When Apple releases the next version of Logic (i.e. Logic Studio) and Leopard (with a class compliant firewire audio driver), the partnership with Apogee will have further evolved, and there will be additional software/hardware integration.
Which answers my question: Thanks ... http://www.apogeedigital.com/products/minidac.php
Unfortunately, the above and other Apogee gadgets are either / or rather anemic, expensive and overly complex for the purposes simple, high quality 24bit audio reproduction ( Apogee's suggestioned configuration: http://www.apogeedigital.com/images/minidac_dtm.jpg )

To partially agree, but mainly disagree with you:
Apogee's products are definately not anemic, arguably expensive, and while some are complex, others are simple.
The quality of their digital conversion has made Apogee the de facto standard in professional recording studios. Digidesign ProTools (owned by Avid) is the de facto Digital Audio Workstation, and the high end version of it comes with its own hardware (although many prefer to use Apogee). Apple, along with Apogee, is challenging the ProTools standard much the way Apple's Final Cut Pro challenged Avid's video editing entrenchmant.
Your link is to old products that are still good but not where the action is. The action is with products coming from Apogee's development efforts with Apple, namely the Ensemble, which connects to the Mac via Firewire and is an all-in-one audio interface with excellent mic preamps, and the more powerful Symphony system which connects to the Mac via a PCI (or PCMICIA) card and provides the sort of low latency performance that is the hallmark of more expensive systems in use at high end studios. When you consider the performance you can get with a Symphony System and a powerful Mac, a "native" system relying on the Mac's CPU to power it, it is much cheaper than the equivalent ProTools system which relies on proprietary DSP cards that don't benefit from the same economies of scale.
