Tablet analysis and opinion: What TUAW has put on the table

In light of the current tablet frenzy, TUAW is not alone shouting "Tablet, Tablet!" from the rooftops. The tablet has been a widespread and consistent story from several directions which we have been compiling and discussing. Over the last few weeks, TUAW has depended on multiple background sources who have information about the device, as do scores of other sites and news outlets.

In that light, we've assembled this round up of analysis and opinions posts, based on the most-likely credible rumors and sources we've been able to dig up from the last few years. Here are some of our longer discussion pieces that you might have missed the first time 'round.

The dual docking ports will allow you to tether your iphone for GPS/VIDEO/Data.

I would hate it if there was a mandatory lock to a specific carrier or a way too expensive data plan to even use the device.

I personally am hoping for iMac, MBP and Apple TV updates and a new iPhone...

A tablet will rock, so long as it's not just an overgrown iPhone.

So sick of hearing about the stupid useless tablet. Just release it already so the consumers can have their toy and the pros can get back to their real computers.

Dear TUAW:

Seriously, I wasn't aware I was capable of hating something that doesn't exist yet before this.

Stop it already. This isn't journalism, this is fanfiction.
