The greatest thing about rumors is that if enough of them say the same thing, they almost force the company to release something to match them.
We can only imagine Apple is sweating bullets if, at this point, they DIDN’T have an iTablet to one up all the faked “spy shots.” ZDNet has uncovered the latest (and greatest?) video of an “iPad,” that is very widget centric - that is, running the iPhone OS, and having each application run as a standalone widget with a keyboard. The concept is pretty slick, I would just hope for a bigger keyboard.
Having an iPhone sized keyboard on a large screen isn’t very smart.
Manipulation of iPhone UI elements in a homemade video. Played on MacBook and filmed with an iPhone 3GS.
You can see the screen bevel of a matte 13" MacBook when he flicks the notes widget up, and then again when he drops the view down to touch the App Store icon. Not only that, you can see the LCD ripple when he touches the App Store icon. And, finally, you would think he could have practiced the timing a few more times before "leaking" this. The lag is really bad between his touch and the OS response.
If this was the new tablet, Apple better be sweating bullets because it sucks.
Oh, and one more thing: IF IT'S THE REAL DEAL, TAKE 15 FREAKIN' SECONDS TO SHOW US THE ENTIRE DEVICE!!!
Fake.
