Microsoft Courier – Not an iPad Killer
Remember a few months back when the video first leaked out and everyone was a tizzy about the Microsoft Courier tablet/e-reader/digital journal thing? Well, it was a pretty cool little mock-up video, and it’d seem a little more has leaked out today that helps shine a little light on what exactly Redmond is up to. Well, partly so.
Apple Tablet Rumor Round-up
This post alone could take up the entirety of the front of any major news site if one wanted to go into even half of the details of the variety of rumors out there, but we’re not going to do that. Instead, consider this a rapid-fire presentation of recent rumors in light of tomorrow’s big event (anyone else going to be watching Leo and co. as they cover it?). So, without further ado, let the rounding-up begin. Oh, and we’re not bothering with the little crap like playing the name guessing game.
Microsoft Courier Tablet PC – Courier vs. Apple Tablet?
If you haven’t seen Microsoft’s Courier, the “secret” tablet they’ve been working on, then let’s start this by showing the video that’s been going around that has a mock-up of what it may look like to use the device:
Apple Tablet Computer – Too Late?
Ok, so this isn’t the first time I’ve mentioned an Apple tablet computer around here and, likely, won’t be the last. I’ve been keeping kind of low lately, just watching and silently remarking to myself about what has come out and what is on the horizon and just generally taking a “wait and see” approach because I’ve been working on other things. However, this is getting to be ridiculous now with a new article coming every day, so let’s just talk about it and then either a) puff out our chests when the Apple tablet computer shows up in a few months or; b) say we never really thought it was going to happen but it’s a fun exercise to make a dream machine. Which is it going to be?
Apple Tablet Computer and/or Apple Netbook
The speculation continues, and this time another site I don’t generally go to for my Apple rumors has suggested we may see an Apple tablet computer (sort of an Apple netbook, too, given the size) next month. Shockingly, it’s a damn good idea and possibility, and it somewhat goes along with what I’ve been hoping for. (more…)
Kohjinsha SX3 Netbook Tablet Reviewed
I hope your French is better than mine, because all I can say is “I don’t speak French.” Anyhow, a review of the Kohjinsha SX3 netbook tablet that left me scratching my head has surfaced. Again, because my French is rather woeful, it’s hard to say for certain, but it’d appear that the initial response (it’s apparently not an exhaustive review) is positive. (more…)
Apple announcement next week: no Apple tablet computer
I first saw the announcement on MacRumors, but by now it’s hit just about every other site that covers any sort of tech news. Normally I wouldn’t bother mentioning this (even though I am something of an Apple fanboy), but I figured this would be a good chance to go out on a limb and make me look like I have my finger on Apple’s pulse by making a few predictions. Or one, at least. (more…)
