Apple making a tablet? i hear it’s true….

apple_tablet

The rumors that surfaced in Tawian about the Apple Tablet that would come out in October for $800 are starting to sound real.

The Taiwanese site InfoTimes reports that the device will have a 9.7-inch touchscreen, making it a tad smaller than most netbooks but adding touchcreen features and iPod mystique.

According to a translation in MacRumors Forum, three Taiwanese companies - Foxconn, Wintek and Dynapack - have received orders related to the device.

It’s unclear if this is a tablet without a keyboard or a more conventional netbook.. or just be completely touch screen.

Hhmmm.. I’ll take my 1,000,000 shares of Apple, please.

  1. OMG, I can only hope that this comes with a two-year overpriced AT&T contract and a big old “fuck you! only upgrades for new customers” clause! <3 Apple~

  2. Didn’t steve say that netbooks were the downfall of any company that makes them?

  3. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE rate it on gadget when it comes out

  4. gimme gimme gimme… mine mine mine…

  5. I wish the people that bash Apple so blindly would at least spend the day with one, instead of flaming it because they only know PC. You would find that your PC, for the most part, truly is a piece of dung, and that the “pretentious asshat” Apple users of the world, are right…. Have a nice day!!

  6. Yah iam writing in all caps so what ? got a problem with it ,really dont freaking care….dont read it!!!! move on but this is concerning what i saw on :http://www.oliviamunn.com/killed-by-exercise/ (if u want u can copy and paste it)….

    AS A TRANS PERSON I FEEL LIKE OLIVIA MUNN IS A TRANS-BASHING BIGOT ALONG WITH SOME OF THRE FANS HERE WHO WILL JUMP OFF A BRIDGE OR KILL THEIR OWN MOTHER/FATHER/GRANDMOTHER IF OLIVIA MUNN ORDERED U ALL TOO. WHICH IS WHY IAM NOT A FAN CUS THATS ALL SHE DOES IS SAY DEROGATORY CRAP ABOUT PEOPLE AND DONT KNOW WHAT SHE IS SAYING.SHE IS JUST AS MUCH AS A HYPOCRISY AS THE NETWORK SHE WORK FOR(G4) ,

    CUS IF U ASK ME WHEN HAS G4 EVER BEEN A GAMINIG NETWORK THAT IT CLAIMS TO BE?FREAKING NEVER… ONE GAMING SHOW OUT OF WHAT 24 HOURS IN A DAY IN ALL U GET FROM A SO CALLED GAMING NETWORK IS ONE FREAKING SHOW?FOR THAT MATTERT U DONT EVEN GET ANYTHING SIMILAR TO GAMING LET ALONE GAMING; SOCOME ON THATS A RIP OFF.THATS LIKE ME HAVING A DAMN BAKERY AND I ONLY SELL FLOUR ?

    SHES ALL ON HER WEBSITE SAYING DEROGATORY CRAP ABOUT TRANS PEOPLE …WHEN SHE NEED TO LEARN THE FACTS ABOUT TRANS PEOPLE JUST LIKE MANY OF HER ILL DO WHAT U WANT OLIVIA MUNN CUS UR SO HOT(NOT) FAN…

    BUT LET ME SAY THIS MUCH I DONT CONDONE KILLING ANYONE AND AND ANYONE WHO DOES WILL GO TO JAIL FOR DOING IT ON VIDEO RIGHT? OK WELL WHAT GAVES OLIVIA MUNN THE RIGHT TO SAY SOME DEROGATORY WORD TOWARDS THE TRANSGENDER COMMUNITY OR SHUD I SAY A TRANSGENDER PERSON.

    ? I MEAN IF A BLACK/AFRICAN AMERIAN WOMAN KILLED HER HUSBAND ON VIDEO, U WUDNT WRITE A COLUM OR WRITE ON UR SITE UNLESS ITS A HATE SITE AND SAY “THE NIG*%R WOMAN MAKES BLACK WOMEN LOOK BAD, RIGHT”? BECAUSE THE WORD TRAN^%E IS THE EQUIVALENT OF SAYING THE N WORD AND OTHER WORDS TOWARDS A CERTAIN GROUP OF PEOPLE,SO Y SHUD OLIVIA MUNN SIT HERE ON HER SITE TRANS -BASHING FOR NO REASON OR JUST TO GET HER KICKS AND SOUND COOL WHICH SHE IS NOT(A EPIC FAIL) .
    BUT WHAT EVER CUS I KNOW FANS OF ATTACK OF THE SHOW AND KEVIN PERIRA ARE JUST GOING TO TAKE THEIR SIDE WHEN ITS A SO CALLED TRA^ ^Y LIKE ME OR MANY HERE OR OLIVIA HERSEL.F MIGHT SAY SHE DIDN’T MEAN IT THAT WAY ‘;YAH RIGHT?

    BUT I KNOW ONE THING IAM NOT A TRANY AND NOR DOES ONE TRANSGENDERED WOMAN MAKE ME LOOK BAD ;THAT WOMAN MAKES HER SELF LOOK BAD FOR KILLING HER HUSBAND. AND IF U ASK ME THE ONLY SUPERFICIAL ,TRANS-BASHING ,TRANS-PHOBIC TRAN^$E I SEE IS OLIVIA MUNN AND HER TRUSTY SIDE KICK KEVIN PERIA.UR WELCOME HORNY(MEANING I DONT SEE ANY REASON Y PEOPLE LIKE OLIVIA MUNN OTHER THAN THEY WANT TO BANG HER), OLIVIA MUNN FANS, G4 AND AOTS SUCKS. THE END (FADE OUT

    maybe if olivia munn GET ONE OF THOSE apple tablet ill forgive her ?(NOT)

    • Get over it. People will bash others…they always have and they always will. Doesn’t matter if you’re a tranny, gay, straight, blond, short, tall, american, french, Christian, atheist. It’s gonna happen. That doesn’t make it right but ranting on here isn’t gonna do a hoot of good.

    • Awesome! Thanks for playing. We have some lovely consolation prizes.

  7. We need thousands of this tablet for our University:

    - Light (200 to 400 g). The MacBook Air is too heavy for us!
    - Small (pocketable if possible). The MacBook Air is too large for us!
    - Mac OS X inside to run NATIVE Apple Keynote and Microsoft PowerPoint files. Editing them a bonus.
    - Video-out port for full blown presentations on videoprojector.
    - Firewire for Target Disk Mode repairs.
    - Ethernet port for wired Internet. Yes, we need it wired!
    - At least two USB2 ports for wireless remote control and pendrive.

    Can Apple deliver?

  8. Someday it will be possible to connect to Internet and do all PC jobs just with something even easier to handle. Just one click and go, well get earphones with cam and proyector and while walking in the street, make a circle with our fingers and see the watch, and make one square in the air and see tv hologram, and making two circles watch Olivia´s boob….. oh, hey!! sorry, sorry, ejem, the pc alerts me of an increassing amount of hot weather over my brain. Ok, ok, restart pc again, ejem….

    I wouldn’t mind having one of those on my desk riight now!

  10. Apple’s safari is awesome wonder if they will have 3G.

  11. Right yeah.
    Buy the new iPhone!
    BUT WAIT!
    We are also coming out with this new gadget that is ten times better than the iPhone.
    It will cost so much more.
    Yeah I believe this to be true.
    Dicks….

  12. S0nntagskind | July 16, 2009 at 7:45 pm

    Cool gadget…hope it’s worth it.

  13. If true, i want.

  14. i think ill prob buy it if true

  15. Thank god I own Apple Stock. That thing is going to sell like crazy. I want to pre-order one right now. Too bad, the tablet is still only a “rumor”.

  16. This seems like a natural evolution (oxymoron I know) for Apple. I know it would make working on the computer while on the couch or in bed so much easier. Apple share price is @ 147.52 FYI.

  17. looks pretty cool…

  18. More apple gadgets for pretentious asshats. YaaaaY!!

  19. The robots are winning…

  20. Anyone that knows me, knows that I hate Mac. I dislike the iPod and the Zune… but the iTouch and iPhone have won in my book. I believe that if Mac tries to excel in making devices that have more mobility and versatility, much like the iPhone, they are going to be one hell of company. The fact that you can have a powerful machine that fits in your pocket, or like this tablet, carry around and be a very powerful piece of tech is going to change the world. It’s almost a Monopoly that Mac is running with this type of tech and I for one am very impressed.

    But, like I said, I love my Alienware PC and Laptop and I wouldn’t change it for the world. Mac is going to probably branch off to be the standard for all of the new tech that is brought in for personal mobile use.

    As long as they don’t make tiny asian girl lap pillows… I have nothing to hate as of right now…

  21. That would totally be convenient for me… the iBook I use for school just died… :(

  22. wow for 800 bucks for a touch screen like that….sounds very worth it…..I guess time will tell.

  23. chocobo.farmer86 | July 16, 2009 at 2:28 pm

    Form over Function? Looks sleek and sexy just like all apple stuff. Will be eager to see how this all plays out.

  24. What rumor?! You’ve got a picture of it right there! The internet doesn’t lie.

  25. If it can use an *optional* Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, I’d be all over that like sauce on ribs.

  26. mykindastupid | July 16, 2009 at 1:19 pm

    They should’ve stuck with the giant scroll wheel design. ;)

  27. californianerd | July 16, 2009 at 1:08 pm

    800 dollars of touch screen woooo =]

  28. Oh man that looks slick.

  29. bleh …

  30. ninjasquirrel | July 16, 2009 at 12:58 pm

    Are you really sure? Not seen anything in the Snow Leopard dev seeds to suggest a tablet… :(

  31. what if you drop it? … Sounds awesome anyway

  32. my uncle works for apple says theirs no truth to the rumor.

  33. I have been waiting for this dream to come true for a long time. Just another thing I will have to add to my Apple collection.
