Apple's Tablet: Before the Announcement

My best friend and partner in many crimes, John Munsch, dropped into IM and asked if I cared about the release of the Apple Tablet on Monday. The thread made both of us laugh, so I'm posting it.

John: So, apparently Apple is finally going to roll out their long awaited tablet on Monday. Do you care?

Don: Yeah. Because we'll have to support it. But, I'm really hoping it's revolutionary. If it's not then, no.

John: My best guess is that it will have a large number of gestures it recognizes and it will be very lightweight and whatnot. I'm not sure what they could do that would actually be revolutionary.

Don: well. Maybe it'll be a 3D projector so you don't actually have to hold the tablet. Just set it on a table and do everything hands off.

That would kick ass.

even better, if you could then install it on a vest to your chest so you got a 3D heads up augmented reality view of the world around you....muy awesome

So I expect disappointment.

John: LOL Yeah. I think you should.
