Apple iPad ? This photo could be it

by Geekboy on 17 August, 2009

apple mac tablet- howrealMac Tablet, iPad, iTouch, Mac Book Touch… Apple’s up and coming new touch device has lots of names as the rumour mill try to guess  the real name and it’s capabilities.

There have been lots of mock ups circulating  around the net.. here are some of the better ones.

So when Nowhereelse.fr posted their pictures, it looks the most possible one of the lot. A nice 10 inch screen and the iphone/ipod touch look a-like button.

Rumours have it that the Apple tablet may act as a secondary display device or even as a Wacom type tablet for you to draw/use while connecting to your main Mac/PC ? [Actually there are programs out there that allow you to do this now. So it's not that difficult.. well, at least on the Windows platform!)

So here's what I hope the tabletPC like device would be...

  1. Everything the iPod touch can do (Apps,games, photos/videos... of course music!)
  2. Wifi enable (of course!)
  3. Bluetooth enabled with  support for tethered modem usage and wireless music stream A2DP!
  4. Read eBooks - PDF !!
  5. at least 5 hours of battery life
  6. Priced at USD$600 not more than US$800! -> with today's exchange rates it's about SGD$1000...


We’ll only know… when Apple takes on the TabletPC/Netbook market later this year, with their release of their.. Mac Book Touch? iPad? iTablet?…. (whatever!) haha

Hands On Asus T91 Eee PC – day 1

by Geekboy on 20 July, 2009

Asus Eee PC T91

Ever since my post on the Asus Eee PC T91 with multi-touch using Windows 7, I have been waiting for a chance to play the touchscreen netbook.

Is this going to be a replacement for my favourite HP TC1100, the tablet pc? Or, gasp!, a bigger more usable version of the Nokia N810?

So far, its been released in the UK for months and just last week for the US. There’s still no official word for Singapore or pricing yet. It’s retailing of US$499 for the basic set.

But guess what! Thanks to Mossad, he managed to get me a working T91 to play!!! Yay! Thanks Bro!

My first impression was how SMALL and light it is!

To give u a idea, I have a A5 sized notes folder and its just a little smaller than that!

This is prety much the standard set, not sure how close this is to the release final hardware, though it has a 30gb SSD (Solid State Drive) and a digital TV tuner, and NO multi-touch, NO Windows XP Tablet Edition, no GPS, no 3G circuit board.

As it came straight from Asus’s Taiwan factory and I have to return it, I will be trying to preserve the original Windows XP Home Edition, and install Windows 7 RC to put it through the paces.

Over the next few posts, I’ll share my experiences with the touch netbook.
