The often rumored Apple Tablet that no one can quite figure out why Apple is making has been “confirmed” again in a story from an unindentified “veteran” analyst on Barrons. This news comes hot on the heels of a Financial Times story that also confirmed the device. The analyst says that the $700-$800 price tag is accurate and that the tablet would be announced in September for a November release. The analyst also states that the devices’ HD video capabilities are”is better than the average movie experience.”
I’m still not sure how this one is going to play out for Apple. Tablet computers have always been a hard sell, even Microsoft, arguably the biggest pusher of the tablet PC has not been able to achieve the market satureation for tablet PC’s that Bill Gates predicted. It’s certainly not the “most popular form of PC sold in the US.” However, Apple has a history of taking decives, like the MP3 player, and boiling them down to their essential tasks, then recreating them in a very consumer friendly way. I guess at this point, we just have to figure out what exactly the tablet’s essential tasks are.
It‘s quite in here! Why not leave a response?
