Could the iPhone OS 3.0 event also be about a tablet?
Hi,
Interesting article in PC World:
http://www.pcworld.com/article/16118...ally_mean.html
To sum it up, she's arguing that iPhone OS 3.0 could include support for a tablet computer.
I think it's more realistic that the tablet will run iPhone OS (see my earlier posts), even if I would prefer full OS X. So, if the Q3 rumors are to be believed, now could be a good time to introduce a tablet (and it's new OS). Especially if lead-time for FCC approval is needed.
Comments? Wishful thinking?

(lots of threads about it)
The new OS may include frameworks to support a larger tablet device, but Apple isn't going to announce anything like that tomorrow.
you speak as if you have inside information.
Best,

PS. Any word on if and when the event stream will be available? I will probably wait for it.

If Apple are to do so, then I believe we are in for some masive changes regarding the OS on all of their portable devices (including future hardware).
To me it also makes sense if Apple would at least unveil their plans regarding a "netbook", "MacBook Nano" or whatever they would like to call it.
iPhone SDK announcement and beta, App Store announcement, game demos, Exchange demo, iPhone 2.0 dated for June 08.
I'd expect iPhone 3.0 today to be a similar setup of announcements - new SDK, new features, demos of new apps/features, release date.
Not buying it. No tablet announcement yet. Sometimes iPhone 3.0, is iPhone 3.0
if a Tablet is coming, it will be 2010, the year we make contact.
see, I can make predictions too

I don't. The invitation speaks of software. This announcement is for developers, it's not a sales pitch.
Edit: Though with Apple, one never knows.

Indeed-y, and you're right on the money too. CES 2010
