Highlights of Apple's new tablet

Presenting to you ! *** DRUM ROLLING ****

THE APPLE TABLET. iPad




The tablet, which comes with a virtual keyboard, is designed to be shared by multiple family members to read news, check e-mail and leave messages for one another with virtual sticky notes.



OMG I CAN LEAVE A MESSAGE FOR MY MUM? AND THERE'S ACTUALLY A VIRTUAL KEYBOARD? I wonder if it is going to be like that of Avatar's! I will buy one if it really is.


Apple has been working on face-recognition software that would tell the machine who is using it, but that technology might not be ready for primetime.


Oh my goodness, face recognition? Is it like those spy kids show? Whereby they will scan your face before you are permitted to access the database that belongs to you? This makes the tablet a spy gadget!

Apple is asking publishers — including the New York Times (NYT), Conde Nast and HarperCollins (NWS) — to work with them to find new ways of presenting and selling content from books, newspapers and magazines.



Read like there's no tomorrow. Know like a genius. Tell like a storyteller.

The company has also been talking to CBS (CBS) and Disney (DIS) about setting up monthly subscription services, but Hollywood is resisting Apple's plan to offer a "best of TV" service consisting of four to six shows from each channel.

Woooots, I think we can actually watch TV on this tablet as well.

Apple is working with videogame publisher Electronic Arts (ERTS) to show off the tablet's potential as a game machine.


I can only imagine what it's like to play Starcraft II on the Apple tablet with a virtual keyboard. Is it for real?


To lead its development of electronic textbooks, Apple has hired Tracy Augustine, a former executive at Pearson Education.
 
Kids, time to study, stop playing your games and surfing the net. Mums can be rest assured that their kids will still be able to keep up with their school work. So thoughtful although I don't the kids will give a shit about schoolwork when they are on the tablet.
 
 
I feel like getting an Apple tablet now myself!!! Can't resist the temptation anymore!!!!
