TechCrunch mentioned that Steve Jobs was overheard saying “This will be the most important thing I’ve ever done while referring to the Apple iStale or iTablet.

If he is as happy as he can be over this product it makes you think we are going to be seeing something other than a bog standard device that we commonly see. Hopefully something unique like the iPhone but that will do a lot more. [Read more…]

There’s more reports/rumours going around about Apple [AAPL] and their iSlate or Tablet device saying that both AT&T and Verizon could be making it available on their networks. Up till now there hasn’t been much, if any, solid evidence that the device will exist but bits of information have been pieced together making it quite likely that the device will be unveiled next week at an Apple event where a big announcement will be made.

It is believed that a “world version” will be made making it compatible on CDMA and GSM standard networks which should be announced Wednesday. However, other rumours are saying a couple of versions will be made making each compatible with a particular network. Either way, I am sure it will be cleared up on the 27th. [Read more…]

MacObserver received some pictures of part of the iSlate recently which shows the device front casing. The clear glass section in the middle of the frame is capable of holding a 10 inch screen according to the source who sent the photos in.

Over the last few days three photos of the same front surface have been with a couple of them shown against a keyboard to give the sense of scale that the device will be.

The glass does look like an iPhone which the iSlate has been touted to be a larger version. However, it’s unclear if the iSlate will literally be a 10 inch iPhone. [Read more…]

Another Apple [AAPL] rumour hit late last night, this time from quite a credible source who hasn’t let BGR down in the past. The rumour is in relation to the Apple iSlate again. This time the source claims that the tablet is to basically be an iPhone on steroids and includes multi-touch gestures that were described as being “out of control”.

As well as hearing about the beefed up iPhone side of things the device is to be powered by an ARM CPU that runs incredibly fast. The kernel from the iPhone is used on the iSlate and it has a model number of K48AP (an internal name). [Read more…]

We are still no closer to really understanding if an Apple iSlate or Tablet will be launched by Apple [AAPL], but with an announcement coming up on January 27 the rumours still keep coming. Rather than provide a new rumour this cool infographic was created that basically summarises everything rumoured so far along with the likeliness of the rumour actually happening. The small image above shows all the rumours listed, but is posted larger below to make it easier to read.

Items included on the list show a unique user interface, different from the iPhone. A front facing camera, OLED screen, price of about $1,000 USD, to be called the iSlate as well as several more. [Read more…]

PhoneArena have posted a copy of a letter headed with the Apple [AAPL] logo that supposedly shows the specs of the rumoured iSlate device.

Features mentioned about the iSlate include a new operating system called Mac OS X Clouded Leopard that suggests the iSlate will be cloud based. Bullet points on the image show that it has a new user interface, a widget based homescreen, connectivity to the app store, 2x faster wakeup and shutdown speeds (compared to what I am not sure), and built in support for Microsoft Exchange Server.

The Apple iSlate concept drawing was created by Rodolphe Desmare and shows what the Apple iSlate should look like. The concept drawing shows the tablet device as having a large 10 inch screen with no bezel and no buttons.

As the whole idea of a tablet is to have a screen to work with we can understand fully why no physical buttons on the front surface would be needed or wanted. If a “home button” was to be found then they could tuck it away on the side of the device or just create an onscreen close all button. [Read more…]

Although nothing official has been announced about the Apple Tablet (to probably be called the iSlate), there are still a number of rumours floating around which still suggest it will be announced this month. The latest information says that the engineers and companies working on the project have all dropped off the map in the same way the same companies did back in early 2007 when the first iPhone was being prepared for launch.

The drop off the map is described by Josh Gruber as a “cone of silence” and sees Apple going in to meetings with potential partners with no prototype or presentation where potential partners are asked if they were interested “if they were to create a new platform”. [Read more…]

On the internet a number of things are tracked and historical data of changes kept. One of the things tracked is domain names where tools are available to track changes to domain names over time. After a bit of investigating MacRumors managed to track down the iSlate.com domain name as being registered to Apple for a brief amount of time, ie a couple of weeks, before going private.

Although the evidence isn’t 100% proof that this is what it will be called, it is expected that Apple will use this domain name for their new tablet device that is now expected to be called the iSlate. [Read more…]

After many months of rumours, Apple [AAPL] have officially announced the Apple iPad. iPad will be the official name and not Apple Tablet, Apple iSlate or whatever else we were expecting.

The iPad has been described as being very thin and promises the best web browsing experience to date of any mobile device. It has been described as being way better than a phone and way better than a laptop. The screen is capable of showing a full web page at a time which can easily be zoomed in to. [Read more…]

Leaked images of what is thought to be the Apple Tablet have been sent in to Engadget late last night that show the device running some kind of mapping application as well as the tablet being compared to an iPhone.

Of course the pictures cannot be verified until we know what the device will look like “if” it is unveiled today. From what we see in the pictures the Tablet device looks to either be in some sort of funky case, or perhaps bolted to a desk to prevent staff stealing/borrowing it.

When compared with the Apple [AAPL] iPhone it appears that the tablet will have either a 9 or 10 inch screen. The back of the device is said to be aluminium and as for pricing it is expected to be $800 on contract or $1000 off contract and being made available in March. [Read more…]
