I Google'd all the convertibles and tablets I could think of and this wasn't one of them...

Is there an image recognition software that may recognize this as an existing product?
 
I sincerely hope it's not; far too big and thick.

It looks like a slot loaded DVD drive on the side, in which case, it's pretty damn thin...

This guy seems a little unstable, it's not the first time he's ranted on about something. I bet that has to scare the crap out of Apple...
 
Here's a bigger picture

To be honest, it looks a little thick to be the type of Kindle competitor many are speculating, although the angle of the picture makes it hard to determine. The 3 dots along the top do look a little reminiscent of the built-in iSight cameras - maybe it has a stand you could pop-out for iChat?

That's actually the size I have been hoping an Apple Tablet would be. So that it can adequately replace a 8.5" x 11" notebook or notepad. Preferable replace legal size 8.5"x14" paper.

Further I consider a tablet to be a notebook replacement. Not something additional to carry around so it needs a good sized screen. The last thing I would want is to carry and cell phone, tablet and a laptop.

If I wanted something tiny for note taking I would use an iPhone or for something a little bigger a full size PDA.
 
Can someone please explain the ergonomics of a tablet. As we see, it is flat on the table. That will be ridiculously uncomfortable to type on. Do you hover over the tablet as you type?

Also, how do you watch a movie? Do you hold it or use a stand? I have tried for a year, but I still can't grasp the "tablet" and why they are so coveted.
 
Did no-one read the article at all ?


Update: Through other people present at the event who played with the tablet a bit (I didn’t) I’ve been told it’s a Tegra based tablet that NVIDIA have developed to show off to various companies. This one was made for T-Mobile and carried their logo.

Solved. Not the mac tablet.
 
If apple ever comes out with one. im sure their will be multiple sizes.

I wouldn't mind have one of those!!!
It would make watching movies, etc in bed way more easier.
 
It's a pity that it's not the famed tablet. It was worth thinking about the possibilities of what we could do with it. 🙁
