kinda neat I suppose. But I gotta wonder how much trouble it is to actually build a working one and take pictures. They claim they build them as sell them, gotta wonder what kind of testing or proof that these things actually work that they have.

have they made any sales yet?
 
I'd say it's a bit fishy. (Maybe... salmony?)

For two reasons:
1)If they already have sold so many tablets, why don't they have pictures of the finished versions?
(It seems like they have sold some because they're on Version 2 of their tablets.)
2)They should probably get their own .com website eventually!
 
as a Cartoonist I find this a great Idea, Im fed up of trying to ink in with my Powerbook and a A4 graphics tablet, and a Wacom Cintiq is waaay out of my price bracket at the moment, to have all in one box that will allow me to sketch on the move is great. Ill have 2 please.
 
If Apple pulls this off and bring the solid tablet Mac, I would be getting one (after, of course, reading the user reviews on this forum). In the meantime, I am stuck with XP Tablet Edition till then.
 
Hmm, I'm NOT suggesing anyone do this at all but I was just thinking. If people can get OS X to run on a regular PC then what's to stop them from running it on a PC tablet?

ahh if nothing else it was entertaining to read. I think Apple should come out with one. I actually think, INSTEAD of the iMac in its current config, make a stand that holds something that looks like your iTab so its as functional as today's iMac, but portable as a tablet if you need it. I really don't think it'd be that hard to make and it would be perfect for college students who don't want to look geeky with their laptops.

That would be awesome. It could be like an iPod: sit the iTablet in it's little dock (iMac like design) which is essentially a port replicator (keyboard, mouse, etc. connect to the stand), and charge it up and use it like a desktop. It'd be the perfect computer (probably also insanely expensive) if it worked like the PC tablets where you rotate the monitor around to use it as a tablet. So, that'd be a Laptop+Tablet+Desktop, all in one.
