Is a Mactablet the last thing Apple needs?
Well when does the Apple rumour mill ever die down these days ?With the dust not even settled on the iphone and MobileMe launches and fans are alreading reading in Apple's CFO's sales projections and seeing new laptops flying out of the Steve's magic bag and perhaps a smaller form feature (9 inch screen anyone?) tablet PC.
Well given the Macbook Pro has not seen a significant change since really the 2001 Titanium beautie it is about time that got a new form factor and no doubt like the iMac you will see Aluminium clad Macbooks before year end.
But a Mactablet well I don't think so Apple in recent weeks has shown how it really is straining under those Apple store lines and another Mac OSX platform morph alongside Leopard and its iPhone versions would perhaps see its software support engineers implode I am more than two weeks into a cloud issue with them and still no end it sight.
And please tell me if I am wrong but wouldn't a larger tablet with touch screen features just get ever so smudgy and blurred unless Apple comes up with an auto-screen clean feature ?
