So speculation hit the news that Apple may be indulging in a little bit of Tablet creation, despite Steve Jobs, on numerous occasions past, stating that “Apple had taken a look at the tablet … and thinks it is going to fail”.
Well, that was then (2003) and this is now.
According to computer maker ASUS, Apple is in the process of designing a tablet computer. And ASUS should know, as they have apparently been hired to do the manufacturing of the unit.
Apple, as is customary, has not confirmed (or denied) the rumours but as ASUS is also reportedly the company hired to peform assembly duties on Apples current MacBook and MacBook Pro ranges it’s not entirely out of the realm of possibility.
So, what can we expect from such a beast? Given that the iPhone and iPod touch both run a mobile variant of Mac OS X, then I guess it would be safe to say that the tablet would probably use the same. It’s also been speculated that it would rely solely on flash memory for storage of data, though hybrid drives are also a possibility.
If you’d like some idea as to what this would actually look like, then wait no more, as someone has already done some mockup designs on what they think the tablet either should or would look like.
