Its been a few crazy months listening to all the wild predictions about the Apple tablet. If at all the Apple tablet does a no show at today’s Apple event (like the iPhone Nano did last year) it would be really embarrassing for more than a few tech journos. However, being an optimist that, that thing which Steve Jobs is believed to be SUPER excited about – is really revolutionary and the tablet would change the world. Here, is a list of all the Apple tablet rumors we have heard of in the recent past:
Apple designing its own chips for portables
So this wasn’t for the iPhone bit the iPad?
Apple getting real serious about Gaming now!
The tablet sure would like to be a handy gaming machine.
Apple naming its tablet – TabletMac
Another trademark uncovered. It seems Apple likes the name Tablet Mac. We hate it. Tablet term was coined by Microsoft I guess btw.
Apple tablet definitely going to be a 7″
Pretty strong prediction. Only to be shot down later.
Apple owns iSlate.com since 2007
And I own iPhoneLTE. They surely want to protect similar names. iSlate would be used by Jobs when he retires and makes things for slum kids in India along with the Gates foundation :P.
Apple sourcing 10″ screens for the tablet
So after hearing that it would be a 7″ thingee, we now hear a 10″. Someone is lieing.
Tablet coming in January along with an 8GB 3GS
Aha – Jan! But the 3GS? I guess not!
Apple tablet is going to be a Kindle Killer?
Complimenting Kindle instead?
Google tablet vs Apple tablet?
Is Google making a Chrome OS tablet along with HTC??
Crazy Crazy leaked specs:
If this is the tablet specs, Janta – 2015 has come early! Or hasn’t it? LG already has a projector phone with biometric security on sale. Doesn’t look too impossible to me to have these in the Apple tablet.
Orange now denies confirming the tablet
Thats why we want Google to get a Voice translation tool aswell.
Fingerworks site RIP, Glass case spotted
Fingerworks technology had to go. Glass case was FAKE.
Will the tablet have a camera?
Its like asking will it have a display.
Gwaker offers $100000 for some ‘REAL’ info on the Apple tablet:
Yes bloggers can get frustrated just writing about thing that doesn’t not exist officially
Apple holding back iPhone OS version 4.0, untill the Slate is confirmed?
YES
The rumored Apple event on 27th Jan – Confirmed
What really set the ball rolling for all the fans expecting something new!
Expected list of upgrades from iPhone OS 4.0. Will support iTablet
A small compilation of what the iPhone OS 4.0 can bring.
Apple wants “iPad” Trademark:
It really seems probable to me that the Apple tablet would be called the iPad.
Data from Flurry shows the Tablet:
After unveiling the OS 4.0, Flurry also spotted the tablet. Its a 1 min job for Apple to hide these details from prototypes. Real or Buzz generation from Flurry?
NY times saying something:
The NY times came in late with some pretty predictions and was widely quoted as it is believed to be one of the reputed sources. The list was pretty much what we had seen before and nothing really new. Had they said something like an inbuilt projector in the Tablet, I would have been more excited! This came along with some leaked images, that I called fake upon first look itself…
