The Apple Tablet Announcement should be tomorrow on the 27th of Jan and most likely will hit the stores on March.Apple Mac Tablet : Apple Mac Tablet Mockup

Which essentially means that the other wannabes will have 2 months to rush this out.

Let me just say that they have a really difficult task on their hands

  1. Apple have the brand power. Whatever other people came up with people are gonna say they are just copying apple. Just like what HP is doing. totally uncool.
  2. The OS platform will not be as responsive as the iphone platform. Quite Straight forward. We have not seen alot of reading apps for the Android, which alot of ebook readers are based on. Plus the fact is that Android is slow. So slow you need to jack it up to snap dragon to make it responsive
  3. They need to price it lower than Apple.
  4. They need to provide a matchable user experience or a better one.
