Waiting for the Mac Tablet.
Where's Apple Computer's answer to the Tablet PC? The Mac maker isn't talking yet, but I predict it will have plenty to say about Microsoft's new portable-computing initiative next yearif the pen-driven slate takes hold in the market.
Bill Gates' pet project is now open for business, and a string of PC makers have lined up to push their own visions of Tablet PC hardware.
It's my strong belief let's call it a hunch that prototype Mac tablets are already making the rounds among select developers.
If I'm right, this pre-release hardware combines a next-generation, low-power Motorola PowerPC chip and formidable screen real estate into a typically impressive Apple industrial design. The hardware is lightweight and slender, and the battery life skunks comparable Tablet PCs.
I'm betting that Apple is employing some pen-input technology from Wacom (which also helped trick out the Tablet PC), but I'd say the rest of the software is homegrown, pairing Mac OS X with the company's impressive handwriting-recognition technology.
