Today's the big day, the day that Apple finally and forever silences all the rumors and the endless speculations concerning its latest creation, its mythical and super-hyped tablet!
In four or five hours we'll know everything about the tablet that there is to know, but until then the rumors and speculations continue to mount. Among them is this leaked photo, seen above, of what some think may be the actual mythical beast. It was sent in by an anonymous tipster to Engadget. The tablet itself is rather obscured by an ugly leathered case, complete with some ugly looking snaps. It appears to be running Safari, and shows some type of mapping program, possibly Google Earth or a newer program that may have been possibly developed by Apple's newly acquired mapping company, PlaceBase.
Also, in the meantime, just yesterday McGraw-Hill's CEO, Terry McGraw, inadvertently confirmed that the tablet was not only going to indeed be announced today, but that it would also be using a modified version of the iPhone OS, thus making all of the 125,000 plus iPhone apps readily transferable and usable on the device. He also revealed that McGraw-Hill had been working in collaboration with Apple for quite some time in order to bring e-book versions of their publications to the device.
Well, in conclusion, there isn't really much that I can either say or add for now, but you can bet your last dish of cold ice-cream and hot-steaming gravy, that I will be keeping a very close eye on todays big Apple event and come tomorrow, whether you live in beautiful Lehrte, Niedersachsen; Rome, Italy; Monterrey, Nuevo Leon; Jacksonville, Florida, or fabulously sunny San Jose, California, that I'll be giving you, my dear two or three readers, my two cents on what may possibly be Apple's biggest and greatest creation ever!
And that's my 2 cents 4 this Wednesday, January 27, 2010
