New Apple Tablet?
Interesting rumors surfaced this week at AppleInsider about a new Apple Tablet or PDA some are dubbing a return of the Newton. For those who missed it, the Newton was Apple's much maligned too-early entry into the handheld market and quickly eclipsed by the simpler and lighter Palm Pilot.
The newest device is allegedly larger than an iPhone, has a 720x480 display and runs an embedded version of the Mac OS/X Leopard operating system.
Who knows if this rumor will pan out, but there's been some ongoing murmurs in this area for over a year now. And while the iPod Touch is pretty cool, I would love if they came out with something just a bit larger. Ok, and please, please, please add a flipdown clamshell keyboard. Pretty please. Otherwise, I'm not sure why this device would go beyond the Nokia N800.

are you mad? A clamshell flip down keybard? I can't think of a better way to destroy the product. With a multitouch interface, what would be the point? It would simply add bulk and unsightly lines and hinges to a product that has the potential to be absolutly clean. I'm typing this on an iPhone, and it's as fast as any miniature keyboard. If you want a keybaord, get a real machine.
And 720x480? That's not nearly big enough. If they hope to get photographers, graphic designers, or any artists, they have to put in a decent resolution and a wacom stylus.
