I was hoping that rumours were coming to an end today after the crazy Apple 4G rumour we posted this morning, but unluckily I came across another about the Apple iSlate again. This time an unknown source has told TG Daily that Apple have purchased all available supplies of 10.1 inch LCD and OLED multi-touch displays for an upcoming device.

“We were designing a product for a customer and we needed 10 inch screens, but we’ve been trying for months and can’t get one from any of the Asian suppliers,” an anonymous designer for a firm wishing to remain nameless told TG Daily.

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…]

Although we are looking at another fake here, it’s still a cool fake at that. We are not 100% sure it is fake as you never really know till the official announcement, but lets call it high 99%.

The Apple Tablet videoed below shows a sleek and slim device that has coverflow functionality along with a very fast interface. The problem with the interface is that it might be a little too smooth and perhaps not an interface at all (maybe just a video for demo).

A look at the video also shows some kind of Ikea interface where you can drag and drop new colours on to a kitchen for example. It all just seems too perfect, and at the end of the day I don’t think Ikea would be the first usage to get a demo. [Read more…]
