Asus Insider Claims Apple Tablet Is Real

CaptainCrunchyApple writes "According to cnet.co.uk the oft-rumoured Apple Tablet PC is actually very real, and on its way soon. CNET claims to have spoken to an anonymous tipster at Asus who claims to be working with Apple to produce the tablet. 'We're guessing it'll be based on Intel Core architecture, a tweaked version of Leopard, and have all the multi-touch, CoverFlow goodness we've seen in the iPhone and iPod touch. All this begs the question: Can Apple turn the Tablet PC into a success when previous attempts have failed? The short answer is 'yes'. Any company that can make a mobile phone with no buttons, no picture messaging, slow Web access and no video capture into the most desirable phone on the planet can easily make tablets popular.'"

Really?

Re:Previous Attempts?!?!

Dude, the question begged to be asked. The editor just couldn't resist.

Anyway, coming out with a multi-touch tablet would be huge. It should provide for a lot more utility than it does on the iphone, and (hopefully) be much cheaper than the $10k Microsoft Surface.

If this is true...

If this is true, and Asus have just completely blown Apple's surprise, then Asus are about to have a really, really bad day.

Woe betide the man who steals Steve Jobs' thunder.

Why have a tablet........

You only pay sales tax when you buy something, so I guess that's not a tax, either. :)

So by punish, do you mean Steve will announce another big price cut on a popular Apple product? That'll get them crying again.

I can't take your post seriously: When I first read it, I thought 'slimline' said 'slime lime' and I couldn't get that image out of my head. Sorry!

Re:Really?
