There ’s a lot of speculation about the Apple pill , but coming November , this is how my desk is going to depend . Or at least , this is what I require . Check it out in super in high spirits definition :
select the image to dilate . Yes , this make me wet .
That , my Friend , is what I believe we are getting .
The Apple tablet I need will guide the same basic hardware as the iPhone , with extended video and system RAM to lodge large computation needs , perhaps with some modified multitasking for some applications . System RAM is a big arrangement bottleneck correctly now , and it wo n’t cost much to add enough to make thing flux smoother . The video recording Aries will be necessary for the higher Re of the 10 in screen . The current iPhone central processing unit and pictorial processor can care all this well as they are . No need for changes . It will also be very fragile . As thin as the iPod touch . Since its guts will be the same , but it will be a gadget with a orotund surface , you also have more space for a larger shelling .
Why do I cerebrate it will be this way of life ? I believe the ironware will be dictate by saving of weighing machine , which has been the norm since Jobs return to Apple : reclaimable components across each Cartesian product family unit to keep costs down . In this face , the product family — which Jobs already advert to in the past — is the iPhone OS - base product family . properly now , there are two products , as you love : iPhone and iPod touch . My wishing is that iTablet or whatever it ’s called will be the third . That fashion , Apple would be able-bodied to build this flashy — and keep the cost of the iPhone and iPod touch down if the tablet is successful .
Logically , the iTablet I require will run exactly the same atomic number 76 as the eternal sleep of the intersection syndicate . The OS will have the same kernel , the same classes , the same subsystems , the same database organization and the same file system . It will also have some new special apps , and perhaps a few new gesture — which will trickle down the merchandise line — but that ’s about it .
It will execute the same practical software , changed to accommodate more information thanks to the higher resolution in the blind . Some Apple and third - party ones will be tailored to the high res , parcel out in a package that will have both iPod - sized and tablet - sized vivid asset . Others — like Safari or games — will just enjoy the clamant encouragement in resolution .
And that will be the beauty of it .
First , people who are afraid of computers — probably not you , the typical Giz reader , but most consumers out there — will eff this equipment as much as they bed their iPhones or iPod ghost . Apple will keep mining the gold , and offer consumer this extremely easy - to - utilization interface that does n’t want any mental generalization . Just click , touch and reach the information , media or games you want , mixed with the episodic short mail or chat .
For developers , it ’s also a win - win situation . Same codification , just add raw plus . Same store , same dispersion , more development chance .
come home to viewThe way I see it , the tablet will start the direction to a fresh kind of computing , after the ages of computing for hobbyist , the age of the instruction line , and the age of the desktop user interface metaphor .
To me , this is where Star Trek starts , and War Games end .
