 Apple: You should reconsider the whole Tablet thing
Looks like tablets are pretty profitable. I think 500,000 units sold is significant revenue you guys left on the table. See this for more details: http://news.com.com/2100-1045_3-5090...l?tag=nefd_top

Yes. At this stage they are far from practical. I am pretty sure Apple are constantly experimenting with tablet-Mac designs, but until they have one that people would actually want to own, they won't be making any.

Have either of you ever used one? I used one several months ago. I think they are very pratical to use. If you read the news article I linked to above, you read that 500,000 units have been sold of this type of notebook PC. How many powerbooks shipped since a year ago today? I personally could make great use of a iTablet or Powertablet, as I do a lot of emersive reading, i.e., taking notes while I'm reading. This would prove to be a much more productive task if I could digitize all my notes instead having paper piled up at my desk. Just a thought.

The Newton was a great machine... but too expensive and too heavy. I think Apple learned from that experience. We'll have an Apple Tablet when it will be really ready.

I think Apple should make a different kind of tablet, the kind that is compatible with Inkwell.
