Tablet/iSlate/iPad Predictions

Alrighty. It’s almost that time of year. It’s perhaps more exciting for most fanboys than Christmas. The time when Apple announces what it’s been working on. I’ve heard rumors of this tablet for more than a year and I’m here to make my guesses as to what it will be like.

It’s late so I’m gonna make this short and try to make it sweet.

1. The tablet (it’s a given that there will be a tablet) will be about 10” in size.
2. It will be subsidized by a 3G carrier. Probably ATT, possibly also Verizon.
3. It’s going to run a version of the iPhone OS. This has been pretty well confirmed by developers.
4. Apple’s definitely going to show it off with some new apps designed specifically for the tablet. Most likely many of these will come from major print media producers.
5. This is a stab in the dark, but Apple will probably update the iTunes store for some sort of subscription model for these new providers
6. I’d really like to see some form of e-ink, but haven’t seen any news about it, so I won’t hold my breath.

Gotta stop there for tonite. I’ll try and expand tomorrow!
