What is the reason for giving a ***** about a tablet?
A tablet is like the worst of both worlds. You've got the bulk of a laptop, combined with the limited usability of a smartphone.
I just don't see the appeal.- Kazbaeden, on 11/19/2008, -0/+2The hope with Apple coming out with a Tablet was/is that they will design a touch/pen-centric UI to accommodate the usability constraints of not having a keyboard.
Personally I use a convertible tablet for taking notes in school. It give me the functionality of a laptop, combined with the versatility of the touch screen/pen digitizer. With the new multitouch functionality in Windows 7, most of the complaints I've had about tablet usability have vanished, and so has my desire to see an Apple tablet.

- julianwan, on 11/19/2008, -3/+14There are 5? Phew I thought there were only 5000
- inputname, on 11/19/2008, -1/+12That was blatantly 10 Apple rumors that never came true, just with five of them not numbered for some retarded reason.
- Zuwxiv, on 11/19/2008, -1/+9Top ten lists are so 2007. We have exactly half the time now.
- WickEd101, on 11/19/2008, -4/+5CNZF

- 0phatpat0, on 11/19/2008, -4/+2I think that happened after the IIe
THen again, I do have an iphone, so what would I know?
- 0phatpat0, on 11/19/2008, -4/+2I think that happened after the IIe
- Shaggy3, on 11/19/2008, -2/+8The Beatles rumor is NEVER going to go away.
- macslut, on 11/19/2008, -0/+4That's in part because it's likely to happen at some point. Beatles coming to iTunes is like the rumor way back early on that the Beatles would be on CD or Star Wars on DVD. Not much of a rumor...or prediction, just stating what will obviously happen.
The Beatles edition of the iPod seems like a no-brainer for both Apple and the Beatles stakeholders, so that rumor won't die until it actually happens or Apple stops selling iPods.

- javaroast, on 11/19/2008, -0/+4Overpriced to you. Affordable for me. Lear jets are overpriced.
- ClevelandBrown, on 11/19/2008, -1/+2I own you all.
- kimcheefreak17, on 11/19/2008, -2/+1I really wish #3 came true...
- dylio, on 11/19/2008, -5/+3"Since the rumor, Long has appeared in a ton of “Get a Mac” ads and the campaign still seems to be going strong."
"Long has appeared in a ton of “Get a Mac” ads"
"In a ton of “Get a Mac” ads"
Don't the newest Mac ads criticize Microsoft for advertising and using a campaign to rival Apple's?
Usually 'A ton of ads" means lots of money spent.- alerad, on 11/19/2008, -0/+2Nobody said Apple wasn't hypocritical.
- helloelan, on 11/19/2008, -4/+2Apple will be debuting a tablet. It will be based on iPhone hardware and will run the iPhone OS. Bury me now and Digg me up next summer. It was at once time internally referred to as MediaMac. I hope I don't go to jail for this.
- liambates, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1lmao I'm digging you up because you made me laugh!
- chooky35009, on 11/19/2008, -7/+2Apple will stop being cool one day. Actually that will probably come true.
- rjhomuth, on 11/19/2008, -2/+2Aha! I see no debunking of the yet-to-be-released "iDigg" I've been praying for! It has to be true!
- tyrulz, on 11/19/2008, -6/+1I bought an iMac to use Logic studio 8, While the program is a very professional and powerful music tool I cannot stand my Mac and only tolerate it to use Logic.
- porl, on 11/19/2008, -0/+0i bought a mac for almost the same reason. it was the only laptop i could find with a powered firewire port for my soundcard. i actually mainly use linux on it, including most of my audio work (ardour), but when doing my own stuff i have fallen back to using logic (i used to use it back in it's cross-platform days before apple bought it and said that the 47% (i think the statistic was something close to that, but i can't remember for sure) users that ran it on windows weren't a 'viable marketshare' and made it mac only). i don't hate the mac interface as much as i used to, but i do find i have to use the mouse a hell of a lot more than i usually do in linux (having to click on a visible window to give it focus before i can click the already visible button inside is one example) and still don't like it that much.
watching some of my less computer literate friends using osx, i can see why they like it though. they may do things in a (to me) slow roundabout way, but they generally only need to learn a select few actions that translate consistantly (most of the time) between applications/functions.
if only ardour's midi functionality was finished, i'd have no real need to dual boot anymore :)
ps. anyone know of any other laptops with real powered firewire ports?

- Rizmaster, on 11/19/2008, -3/+66. Steve Jobs is dead!
- andrewlotta, on 11/19/2008, -4/+3$800 Macbook should have had more attention in the article.
