The Apple Tablet might be an electronic reading device.

Jan 25 2010 Published by Bygadget under Apple

Amazon is ahead with a Kindle that I desire, but both Apple and Microsoft have a fly behind the ear and seem determined to get his portable reading device. Courier is the option of Microsoft and Apple Tablet expected seems more than ever (the rumors come from earlier this year) a reader of publications.

The company seems to have contacted a number of areas important publications. On the one hand we have people of the New York Times, the Press and the Oberlin academic giant McGraw Hill.

As for the shape or dimensions of this reader, the latest rumors point to a 10.7-inch screen seems too big to be real in a device like the one we are proposing. Rumors speak of that could play media content in high definition even though it was not his main purpose.

The operating system would be iPhone OS and its release date would be located before the summer of 2010 with a presentation in January.

There are many questions that still remain to be resolved. Among them, the technology used for the screen. Electronic ink seems ruled out, being a team that looks like an error reading clear, although there are interesting developments and color touch screens, who knows whether they will jump on the market with these new teams preparing both Apple and Microsoft.

Finally, Apple still behind, of course portable reader that will be preceded by a store associate. Steve Jobs’s company will then finally find a rival that has already gone way: Amazon and its famous store, but we know that Apple will make its charm and user experience that always make a show. Well, its closed system.

In Applesfera | Apple has contacted the press to talk about the Tablet while more details are filtered.
