Title: Apple patents a tablet Mac Post by: BFG on May 11, 2005, 11:53:40 am macobserver reports (http://www.macobserver.com/article/2005/05/10.18.shtml) that apple has just been granted a patent for a tablet mac... ok ok so we all know just because apple patents somthing dosn't mean they are about to rush out with a whole new product. But.... well i guess its a "watch that space" type senario ;)
(pictures are crap, no info on design or anything other than its a tablet, looks basically like the body of a powerbook - or in their words the "HP Compaq Tablet PC" Title: Re: Apple patents a tablet Mac Post by: :MoD:Shade on May 11, 2005, 09:20:11 pm Title: Re: Apple patents a tablet Mac Post by: BTs_Mysterio on May 11, 2005, 10:11:24 pm Pocket nothing. Tablet yes. However I bet the iBook will just get a swing screen with tablet recognition.
Title: Re: Apple patents a tablet Mac Post by: BFG on May 11, 2005, 11:02:34 pm well i dunno im sure i could squeeze it into one of my pockets ;)
Dunno the laptops arn't light still - well the 12inch powerbook is pretty light, but personally if i wanted a tablet (hang on what the hell is the real use of a tablet unless you work in a warehouse or somthing and you have to go round checking inventory?) i would want something a good bit lighter, and thinner!

How about a docking station for it to act as a desktop, and one for it to hub into your TV/stereo?
