So, the Apple Blog posted something about some sort of tablet that Apple is working on. Go figure.
It seems someone at Apple whose first name is Steve likes where they’re at with the tablet project. That plus the fact that there’s that little gathering up in SF…what’s it called? Something about a Mac and maybe a town? Mactown 2010?
Besides, when was the last time Steve Jobs was happy about anything? Maybe he’s going senile and finds that completing any major project at Apple within a decade is worth smiling about.
Seriously, though, the big thing they talk about is the keyboard interface and honestly I think they’re giving Apple engineers designers too much credit. It sounds less like some sort of Sci Fi self-electrocuting keyboard and more like there’s some sort of cover or overlay that you’ll flip on top of the screen to switch to keyboard mode. In other words, it’ll look great but be sort of stupid at the same time.
All I can say is I just hope they finally unleash it in February so we can stop with the rumor mongering about what it’s going to be like and start with the–uh–speculating about how soon a second generation will come out that will do it better and for less. Or to put it another way, when we dorks let out a resounding “ahhh” when we find out six months later a better version came out and put our “bleeding edge” version to shame. Remember, school starts in September!
