iTablet Rumor
Apple Soon to release ITablet
* Screen size: 9.7 inches
* Chipset: Intel dual core or Samsung ARM11
* OS: App-store-compatible version of OS X
* Release date: Jan 2010
* Price: $500 – $800
1 of the main reasons Apple didn’t release the iTablet is because the goal was NOT to have an OS like the Itouch, but rather the full OS. This was only possible after Snow Leopard arrived with a smaller footprint. You could only imagine that apple will make this very thin, light, powerful, fast and the most important thing is a very good response to touch. In till now Apple is probably the ONLY Touch based device that actually responds! I recall when HTC came out with some “competitors” against the iphone – what a joke! But now rumors seem to slide to not having snow leopard but rather having iPhone OS 4.0 which will support all of the iphone apps in small screens like widgets. You can believe there will be multitasking and iTunes WILL be updated with Itunes 10 to support eBooks. Maybe it’s time they change the Name of iTunes to iEverything.

Apple is moving AWAY from optical discs, especially in ultraportable devices (MacBook Air). There is no way they would waste the space, money, and power consumption on a DVD in a tablet.
I know but cant i have hope, a dvd in the tablet would make it a complete stand alone computer not like the macbook air dependent on another system also the fact that it could be used as a portable dvd player big plus. play music etc.
It prob will not have a dvd drive BUT no one can argue that it will be nice to have. (hence why its marked doubtful)
