Hi all,

Any news on Apple's plans for marketing a new Apple Tablet PC? Thanks.

Pure speculation based on them bringing out very fat new desktop Apples with
the computer housed behind the screen. You basically have a very very thick
slate Apple but otherwise nothing resembling Microsoft's Tablet platform.

Apple has also built in handwriting recognition to OS X:

It is not clear whether the recent Apple Tablet rumors:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/08...le_tablet_mac/
were incorrect guesses by people who saw the new iMac design or whether
Apple is doing the logical thing of putting out a Tablet. It will be a sign
of maturity of Tablets if Apple jumps into the fray.

Mickey, Mike
Thanks for your comments.
