Meh... still no press invitation for the event. Or they not going to have one haha.

yeah a major OS update should be in June, in line with the launch of the new iPhone. perhaps an update to the current OS (3.1.2) is possible, given that the last update was couple of months ago.

3.2 anyone?

i do hope iSlate is just another rumored name (so as iTablet bla bla bla). Jobs will definitely think of a better name for the tablet than those.

well, iSlate or ITablet (taking tablet medicine) if the price fall at rm2.5k might consider to grab it and play around.

Hope Apple wont come out with Netbook specs.
Im looking forward build in HSPDA+ or LTE technology with SSD?

Pray hard everything is New and consumer cant imagine what is coming for Apple devices

sounds tempting!
do update if they are gonna launch it! =D

probably will run either nvidia targa or ARM Cortex A9
i think
atom processor is just not powerful enough yet

aiya you guys, we dont even know what it looks like, what kind of technology will be included with it or hardware specs and what benefits it may give you. when we dont have a clue of any of this how to know whether you'd own one or not?

mostly not going to buy it... a combination of iphone and mac?? a 7 or 10inch device? it seem stupid, i can browse internet, watch movie, play song and games with my iphone. y i need another bigger device that serve the same??

it's all over the news now. even our local The Star covers it.

The Star

lol... let see first la, product oso not yet announce..

wa.. not sure how much is it le?? hopeful not that too pricey lo

At least it serves more like a Mac, and slightly more portable than normal laptops including MacBooks. You can't use iWork on the iPhone to do your work, now can you ?

is it possible to coming out that iphone 4g? i don't think so lo.. bcoz 3gs just come out not long ago wor..

Apple is crazy with product launching. First with iPhone. I thought it would at least 3 years. After just a year, 3G comes out, and 3GS soon after. So it would'nt be a surprise.

if i want a slightly more portable than normal laptops i'd go for macbook air oh hahaha

am i the only one who wishes for a cheap-version MBA? make a polycarbonate version, slap an Atom in it, put a pair of toshiba's new 64gb NAND chips. all that around rm2k? i think quite nice already ;p

mac adi very portable le.. And I don think u will feel comfortable typing on a screen like a iPhone compare with mac with physical keyboard... So, sill no for islate unless it is somehing defferent from iPhone or mac... Maybe a....??

wow you must be a person who wishes technology never should advance and should stay the way it is. Apple releasing new iphone on a one year cycle seems crazy? what about sony ericsson or Nokia which launch new phones every month are they crazier?

you must be some sort of time traveller to be able to use that metaphor

apple dont like atom
it dont serve the purpose

The term "crazy" that I used is to regard their vigorous product marketing, releasing iPhones on an annual basis, eventhough they are new in the market. With this type of advancement, it wouldn't be fair to old iPhone owners, that supports for their currently iPhone would have been ceased. Look what happened to the old iPhone 2G. It was, and still is a very, very good phone, that could serve someone for a good lifespan of 5 years. But lack of third party support like cases, covers, and screen protectors would lead to an early downfall of such a good phone from a good phone manufacturer that has just came into the smartphone business, Apple Inc.

At least, Nokia and other major phone companies, do not cease support of their products. Well at least, I can still see 3310's original battery covers, battery itself, screen protectors and what not, in a Nokia service centre, and also in phone shops. I don't see why you regard me as a person who wishes technology never should advance and stay they what they are.

At least, when releasing a new iPhone, Apple should regard what is most important in phones, and make it irresistible. I wouldn't mind spending thousands on something that is new and fresh. Could you tell the difference between a 3G, and 3GS physically? I would be happy when the next line of iPhone includes flash, a higher megapixel camera and what not. Even my sister's cheap sony ericcson phone has flash They should really use the time to R&D, slash costs and come up with something new and fresh for the iPhone i reckon.

But all in all, way to go apple, lets bring us the islate!

iphone is in smartphone market. Lagging support on those fancy camera thing is ok, as this is not first priority of product design.
what they focus on is the OS and CPU/GPU, i think, as this is vital for smartphone market.

apple has no control for 3rd party products for the iphone, they can cut the product production for old phone. But as for original parts, you still can get it. YES you do, cuz apple products promise you can find the parts within 5 years from date of launch. BUT, here the catch, iphone 1st gen, never release in alot country. The warranty only applied to iphone purchase on origin country.
