Apple Working on 10-, 13-, and 15-Inch Tablets?

Hmm Rendering was Pretty Close to the Jesus Tablet

That artists rendition has been around for at least 8 months.

Yes, and still would be nice to have a sleek aluminum cased touch Mac with my iPhone tethered

As long as it's the sh*t of a carnivore. Nice rich brown.

As you would so intimately know.

Many vegans have really pale feces, which wouldn't be much better than the tacky white plastic that Apple uses.

Nevertheless, the color white represents the antithesis of sh*t, which, for most people, and animals alike, would be far more desirable to place into one's own ears than a color which is characteristic of rich brown fecal matter. From your POV then, there's nothin' so thrilling as stickin' brown turds in your ears, and not being the least bit ashamed of flaunting it.

Fudzilla's take on this:

Still in prototype, but will likely do a 13” & 15” model

We shook the fruit tree and found that Apple appears to be working on both a 13” and 15” tablet that run full Mac OS X, in addition to the 10” tablet that the company is closer to releasing very early next year.

While the 10” version is expected to run from the same basic code base as the iPod Touch/iPhone, the 13” and 15” prototypes in the lab at the moment are running full Mac OS X and are being heavily evaluated and tested to see what the potential future could be for such a device.

From what our friends of the fruit tell us, while the demo units were built for Apple no one seems to be able to confirm who actually built these prototypes; however, they are made of aluminum using a shape that is similar to a very large iPhone.

While we know that Apple is committed to pushing the 10” tablet model out, it is unclear as to how the 13” and 15” models would fit into the Apple product line and what segment these would be targeted at. Our sources insist that it might be a proof of concept more than anything else and also a way for the company to hedge its bets in case the 10” model leads to friends of the fruit going crazy, asking for a larger version that runs OS X. Anything is possible, right?

We are doubtful that anything regarding this is going to become clear soon; it could be that it might just be one of those prototyping things that never make it to market.

OLED MacBook Tablet?

Hmm if the time line for MacBook Tablet is Q1 2010 then there is a likelihood of OLED displays for Macbook Tablet since LG has just announced they will be releasing OLED TV's at 15 inch size which is just about right for the new Tablet range...

Wouldn't you say?

Since Apple help LG out with U$1/2 a billion in cash not so long ago.. It's payback time... Time to collect.


Conveniently since the 15 inch is the top end of LG's TV screen size, fits perfectly into the now rumored Tablet screen range... 10, 13 and 15".

Tablet?!?!

Just a little dream of mine....SWEET!!!!

I saw a man using something similar to this running OSX in a starbucks. If I see him again I will snap some shots. I got the impression that he wanted to be seen with this "Apple Tablet"

Was it one of these?

Was it one of these?

No, it looked a lot like the mock up I posted...really thin and black aluminum. Not a modbook. It was awesome.

Microsoft's Courier Book shows the way

Speaking of companies that have been making tablets for a decade...

Microsoft's just revealed secret booklet project looks really sweet:

Check out the video at Gizmodo, too. As someone said, "It's like a tablet PC meets Surface meets Zune HD."

Would love to see Apple do something like this. Don't need an OSX tablet, really. Need something much more customized.

Man I have been a mac user for a long long time but I think that Microsoft tablet is impressive! I wonder what innovations apple will bring to the table but wow I never expected dual screens with a nice looking UI from a microsoft project. Looks like there will be competition!
