Apple Tablet??

In 2005, Apple filed for patents for its new MacBook Pro Tablet. We haven't yet seen any announcements of Apple Tablet so far. But, considering the development of iPhone and its success, it wouldn't be to far fetched to assume that it already is working on such a device. And, it makes perfect sense for Apple to be working on such a device.

Apple is known for being a distrupter in the market. MP3 players were sold even before iPod but, Apple entered the market and completely took over it. The same is happening with iPhone. Smartphones were always there but, Apple upped the ante in an unprecedented way. Now, every other touchscreen phone is an iPhone wanna be.

Based on iPhone one can just imagine how beautiful MacBook Tablet would be. Apple would surely use most of its 200 patents related to iPhone interface and design. It would also be a lighter version of OS X leopard. But, please put a real keyboard. Virtual keyboard is fine on an iPhone and you can get used to it fairly quickly. But, it can't compare full sized real keyboard.

These are desired features.

- Multi-touch OS X
- Rotating camera
- Screen size of 10"
- Full keyboard
- Built in Microphone and speakers
- Wifi, Bluetooth and 3/4 G wireless
- Price less than $1499
