The net is full of chatter and speculation that Apple is about to introduce a Mac Tablet, a virtual 'netbook' killer, of some kind.
As you can see here, the net is also full of artist's renderings and mock ups of just of what such a Mac iTablet might look like.
Today, I am featuring just six of many such conceptual designs, some of which I think you have to admit are rather striking and very sexy looking, if I do say so myself.
To the left and below are two of my favorites. These two renderings are based on actual, honest-to-goodness, Apple patent filings, and feature either a notebook or tablet like device that can double both as a mobile device, or that of an iMac desktop computer! To me this is absolutely and undeniably one of the coolest concepts that I have ever seen! It's brilliant actually, and to me and my way of thinking, it's like having the best of both world's all rolled up in a 'two-for-one' concept that is unbeatable.
We find below yet another striking concept, this one of a very thin and sleek looking black beauty - one consisting of a tablet that can be combined with a wireless keyboard that can allow it to also double as a desktop. Cool and very, very sexy looking if you ask me.
Above, via the fine folks over at Gizmodo, is another fantastic looking concept. This sleek and stylish concept certainly looks very worthy of something that would have come out of Apple's famous design studios. I, for one, would snap up one of these babies in a heart beat.
Another black beauty is the device seen above, one, that even though not as striking as some of the others, is still a find looking device any which way you wish to view it. However, the two conceptual beauties seen below are even sleeker yet.
Below we see the conceptual MacBook Touch, a device that apparently can also double as a great electronic musical instrument. No doubt, this is one concept that in it's simplicity looks absolutely stunning.
So, there you go, several interesting and intriguing conceptual designs that could possibly emerge in the not too distant future, and could be coming soon to an Apple store near you. At least I hope so, because even though these are just conceptual renderings, all of them are drool worthy and something that I would love to see. No doubt, as good as these conceptual mock ups all are, Apple has something even more compelling, and even more interesting up it's sleeve. The first concept is probably the most likely to happen, in my opinion, since it's base on real Apple patents, but what ever Apple finally does to address's the growing popularity of netbooks, well - it can't come fast enough for me.
And that's my 2 cents 4 this Tuesday, May 26, 2009

the macbook touch looks cool! i wonder if it will use the full leopard os or a slimmed down version?
Thanks for your comment dan. Yes, it's certainly cool looking, but from what I understand is that it will include a special and very complicated version of OS X, one that goes far beyond the capabilities already built into OS X. This is why some analysts predict that it may be another six months or so before we see it, as the complicated OS is slowing the project down a wee bit.
Sooner or later, possibly even next month at Apple's next WWDC, we will learn more, but don't count on it.
