Apples "Latest Creation" Launch

**MJ10** · 18-01-10, 07:01 PM

Apple is hosting an event on the 27th Jan to unvail what it's calling it's "Latest Creation"!

Yes folks -- the rumors are true. Apple is holding an event on January 27th to show off something the company is calling their "latest creation." Hair standing on end? Good. The proceedings will take place at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco, and will get underway at 10AM Pacific. We'll be there live -- as usual -- covering every little second of the action... so get ready!

This could be the iTablet!

Wasn't the name iTablet dis-regarded as the new name when it was discovered Apple has registered iSlate.com?

I hope they release info on a new iPhone too, if A&L ever get their arse in gear I will get one.

ElectroGirl · 18-01-10, 08:43 PM

I believe it is their own tablet

God I really want one...And need one!

bmh16 · 18-01-10, 08:45 PM

The iSlate is being launched then, almost for sure it seems last time i checked the rumour mill. Hopefully new MBPs too.

I don't get what this tablet thing is, sorry for being stupid but is it basically a touch screen laptop sorta thing? Or is it like a graphics tablet?

Lol at people hoping it's not going to be expensive, of course it is!

Imagine a 10" iPhone.

**rider900** · 18-01-10, 09:16 PM

What's the point in that? lol But knowing apple it will be very cool

Does anybody know what it will actually do? From all i've read, it's just rumours that it's coming lol

**MJ10** · 18-01-10, 09:28 PM

All I know is that theyre aiming between the market/price/ability of the iPhone and a Macbook or iMac.

So should be around £6-800. And from what I've read and seen pics of it's just like the screen of a macbook, without the keyboard half! All touchscreen etc.

But tbh I don't see the point in a touch screen computer bigger than an iPhone. The screen will just get smugged and you'll have to clean it lots. Plus if you were to have it upright your arm would ache from using it lots. And then if you had it flat your more likely to scratch it or drop something on it, and it'll take up space etc... I just don't see the point!

ElectroGirl · 18-01-10, 09:33 PM

I think they have taking inspiration from Wacom. Targeting graphic designers who work on macs with an external tablet. It will be much better for them to have an all in one I guess

digger600 · 18-01-10, 09:35 PM

ooo, I hope it is the iSlate because it will be super cool

wait and see

**rider900** · 18-01-10, 09:40 PM

Why?? At your sig Jake

And i'm never gonna get this anyway, it'll be too expensive like John said, around £6-800

Yeah, just like imacs, we'll all want one but only rich people and amazing freebie hunters will be able to get one

I just know furbs is keeping a close eye on this now!

Yeah, well I feel bad at not being able to do freebieden with them too lol, but I don't put it in my sig!

gpow · 18-01-10, 09:45 PM

So its just a tablet pc, like this already offered by NVIDIA NVIDIA Tegra tablet prototype hands-on -- Engadget

Tablet PCs have been out for years, it's just interesting to see if Apple will take it a step further or release something the exact same with a white glossy shell and rely on mac fans to buy into it, hopefully they do bring something new to the table!

ElectroGirl · 18-01-10, 10:21 PM

I hope so

Amiethest · 19-01-10, 05:56 PM

It'll have to be something really good for me to shell out my refs for it.

**MJ10** · 21-01-10, 11:02 AM

I've had it CONFIRMED that it IS the Tablet coming out, but they wouldn't give me any more info
