The iNet? Apple preps a tablet computer

via Gizmodo:

"The device, which I've held mock ups of, is going to have a 10 inch screen, and when I saw it looked just like a giant iPhone, with a black back— although that design could change at any time" they said, "with the same black resin back, and the familiar home button." That's obvious.

That's right. Apple is working on prototypes for a Mac-powered tablet computer / netbook, which may be set to release this holiday season. While the visual here certainly is mouth-watering, I tend to be wary of new ventures. Apple always seems to be able to put out a quality product, albeit it being 10 times more expensive than every other device to precede it. Call me what you will, but I'm starting to see Apple as an evil empire, especially with all of the flack they're getting from frustrated iPhone users for being the phone Nazis. Will that stop me from getting a new Macbook? Probably not. Will it make for a host of really dope products and hours wasted in the Apple store? Without a doubt. Apple is starting to look more and more like an Umbrella Corporation / Skynet clone by the day...
