There’s something in the air. Apple is conducive to more suspicious activity pointing to their enrollment in the tablet computer business, a market mostly dominated by PCs. In an ever-evolving environment for mobile technology, it’s about time. Don’t you think?
- Student-targeted vehicles, such as the Nissan Versa and Honda Fit, are integrating more and more features to accommodate the on-the-go lifestyle. Typical features now seem to include USB interfaces for your MP3 players and places specifically designed to store your laptop.
- Hopeful from the success of laptop use in Australian schools, Microsoft and Toshiba started the Anytime Anywhere Learning Foundation. Other technology companies (take a look at NoteSys) are also encouraging the use of laptops in grade schools.
Well, anyway… Aside from stories that Apple is shopping out this possible tablet in Australia, The Business Insider reports “a source tells us a system integration engineer friend of his at Apple has been ramping up his travels back and forth between China lately.” Back and forth between the US and Asia? The fingers are pointing! It’s also likely that Foxxconn, a Taiwan-based electronics manufacturer with previous ties to Apple, may be producing these tablets. Rumors were reported earlier this month about a tablet device with a 10.6-inch display that focuses on long battery life, Internet connectivity and simple interface hitting the market in the beginning 2010.
Too bad they aren’t rumored to be completed by Christmas. There are plenty of folks ready to fork over more than $800 for this Apple product.
