The rumors about this fabled Mac Tablet have gotten me excited. For the longest time I have wanted an iPod touch like device with 3G. The rumors swirling have put specs like 3G chip, 10” screen, and iPhone OS 3.0 not OS X like the normal Mac's run. I will probably wait in line for this to come out. Especially if I have to move into an office where I wouldn’t want to browse the internet on my work computer. Why not just browse the interwebs during the day with your Tablet PC that fits easily into a backpack/briefcase. And maybe even small enough to fit into a pocket. What kind of specs would you like to see, and is this something people would upgrade from an iTouch for? With the 3G it makes it worth the money in my mind. Also would this mysterious device have a camera for pictures/video. I am interested to hear if people would pay $600-800 for a device with no physical keyboard. I think they are planning on changing the way we look at computers like they did with the phone. Who’s buying out there with me?
One point of discussion that Praz and I have been arguing about is the price point and the monthly service charge for the 3G or 4G. For me the monthly charge is a deal breaker. It’s an endless expense that as long as you own the device you will be paying. I am more likely to buy a higher priced device and not have to deal with a Verizon or AT&T. My personal issue is why would I want to pay $60.00 a month for only one device connectivity when i can pay $60.00 for a broadband card and have my laptop/desktop, or really any device that has an operating system and a usb port online. And I have a feeling this connection will be dedicated to the tablet. Let us know your buying preference.
