Rumor: Apple event in January, possible 10" tablet demoing iPhone apps

I want full OS X, and I want to see iPhone apps available basically like Dashboard widgets. That would be cool.

WOW! That looks so YUMMY! OMG!

Some very interesting conjecture being put forward here, though I must admit I'm somewhat sceptical.

Isn't January the usual time when Apple relese their new versions of iLife and iWork? That could be all we'll see.

i wish all the apple blogs would just give up on the itablet. sorry guys it isn't gonna happen

I like how you guys list yourselves as the lone source, like no one else reported this, and you were first with this breaking news...

Oh wait, big brother Engadget posted this 45 minutes before you.

And not only that, they listed 5 sources for their information.

I work for a (very) large media organisation in the UK and we've been developing some 'widgets' for this new tablet for a while. It's all hush hush but it is happening.

Someone please explain to me (and any other potential customers) why I should buy a 10-inch iPhone OS device that doesn't fit in my pocket when I could buy a 3.5-inch iPod touch that does all the same things (because it's running iPhone OS).

Now, explain to me why I SHOULDN'T buy a 10-inch OS X device. It's more portable than a 13-inch MacBook and it's got a touchscreen. You'd have to be crazy not to want one.

Apple isn't stupid. No one's going to buy a giant iPhone. They know that. You want an iPhone, buy an iPhone. However, people WILL buy a small, portable, OS X-running tablet device. And that's what they're going to give us.

Provided, of course, that all these rumors are actually on to something.

A "netbook" or tablet that runs only app store apps is a naahh. Cool. But naaahh. I want to be able to patch my software when they fail and have security holes a bit faster then the 1-3 months. Sure webb apps might be the future. But. Hm. Naahhh. I dont know. I want it to run OSX. I want it to be a "computer".

Most of the apps from AppStore are designed for iphone/ipodTouch screen: 320x480.
A large number of applications would see distorted or ridiculous in another resolution or screen size.

I wish apple proves everybody wrong by having not 1 but 2 10" touch screens.
I wish it is a clamshell model with 2 touch screens when you open it. (like opening a notebook). One of the screens can be used as full virtual keyboard.

But wait, if its not too much to ask, I would also like an E-Ink screen on the front, so that I can read long documents without wasting too much battery.

So finally, it should be the size of a traditional (paper) notebook with the front being an E-Ink screen for reading books and documents. When you open it, it would have 2 touch screens. And of-course the hinge will be a complete 360deg hinge, so that you can fold it all the way to have the touch-screen on the front.

And last but not the least, it should have the camera on the hinge, so that it can be rotated in any direction.

Well, it is just my wish..
