According to Mr. Lee's personal blog, Apple's tablet will look like an oversized iPhone with a 10.1-inch multi-touch display. It will also include ebook reader and notebook computer features, and it sounds like the device's interface knocked his socks off. Apple is expected to unveil its tablet computer at a special media event on January 26, although the company hasn't announced the event or confirmed it is ready to release a tablet device.

But I have no inside information. geoduck said on December 31st, 2009 at 10:10 AM (Edited: 01/26/2012 2:46 PM): Imagine what will happen if the late January event announces a new version of Final Cut and nothing else. Front Facing Camera? said on December 31st, 2009 at 10:15 AM: I believe we call them webcams… Erik Bowen said on December 31st, 2009 at 10:51 AM: Yeah, well why would they have a camera on the back? It makes sense for the iPhone but, it would be stupid to have it on the back of a tablet. The question we should be contemplating is whether or not the camera with be behind the screen. I don’t know if the tech is ready yet but, a while back Mac Rumors (or some other rumor site) showed an Apple patent for a behind-the-screen camera. The purpose is to look eye to eye with the person you’re having a video conference with. Brad Hutchings (Bosco) said on December 31st, 2009 at 10:55 AM (Edited: 10/12/2011 8:04 PM): Yeah, well why would they have a camera on the back? Crotch cam! Erik Bowen said on December 31st, 2009 at 10:59 AM: Crotch cam! Well, if they have it on the back it would be a crotch cam and we’d know what they were playing with rather than working on the device. computerbandgeek said on December 31st, 2009 at 6:43 PM: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8L39UwOS-Y Post A Comment or Log-in.
