Apple Tablet PC second paragraph: Like Mac Non-iPhone

Bubble NetNews Channel February 2, according to foreign media report today, sources, Apple iPad in the development, while also developing other a Tablet PC. Larger device, more like a Mac, rather than the iPhone。

Rumors

Before the release of the iPad last Wednesday, there related to rumors that Apple might introduce two different sizes of tablet PCs. A 7-inch or so, while a 10.6 inches. Ultimately proves, iPad actual size of 9.7 inches. However, sources said Apple is developing a larger device, the largest is expected to reach 15.4 inches, with the existing MacBook Pro notebook is similar.

Although for the iPad, the 15.4-inch too big, but the sources said, this product is very different with the iPad. The product will be closer to the Mac, but will run the OS X operating system.

If this is true, Apple is expected as early as June of this year at the "Worldwide Developers Conference" posted on the product. Apple usually released at the event, the new iPhone, but Apple's Mac platform is also the developer of the most important an event, and the OS X operating system over the past two years has become a major component of the General Assembly. Including two years ago, Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) surprise appearance, allowing developers to be as early as possible to see the true capacity of the product.

Earlier reports said that the developer will be at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference in advance to see OS X 10.7. If the OS X 10.7 is equipped with a number of important multi-touch capabilities, it is likely to be used in Apple's second paragraph of the Tablet PC. Of course, there may be used with touch-screen iMac.

As in the past, Apple likely will never be disclosed in the development of a number of projects for the second tablet PC might be just such a project. However, sources said, the new product will be released within the next year.

Details Forecast

The new product uses, may be iPad completely different. For example, the product is more likely to become a laptop or desktop directly alternatives. Therefore, it will almost certainly be equipped with an external keyboard and stand. Do not use brackets, you can hold in your hand the same as the iPad, or on his knees, through the touch screen for input. When using the bracket, you can make use of the Bluetooth mouse and keyboard for input.

According to a number of patents submitted by Apple as well as the launch of a large number of touch devices, Apple certainly has touch as a direction for the future development of computing technology. From the traditional notebook computing devices to such a new transition process, a large flat-panel computer can act as a good transition. iPhone makes a large number of users adapted to the touch screen, and thus laid the foundation for the iPad, while the iPad may also play a similar role, allowing users to advance to adapt to this new Tablet PC.

Despite the larger size of the Tablet PC is undoubtedly a higher price than the iPad, but if Apple is really positioning the product as a laptop alternative, then the price is still much room. If so, even if the price of more than 1000 U.S. dollars is also reasonable, which is vastly different with the iPad.

However, using this pricing, the user would want the product to provide the same powerful performance as the notebook. According to sources, the same as with the Mac, Apple has the potential to this product is equipped with Intel processors, rather than iPad used A4 processor. As a result although the performance will be improved, but it will be a corresponding increase in power consumption. Large touch screen with a larger chip power consumption will make this product the battery life of 10 hours less than the iPad. But as long as more than 5 hours, we can make the majority of customer satisfaction. Apple in the past few years has been battery life, there have been some competitive advantage, enabling their notebook battery life is much higher than the industry average.

As for weight, iPad weighs about 1.5 pounds (about 0.68 kilograms), while the screen size of 13.3-inch MacBook Air weighs about 3 pounds (about 1.36 kilograms). If Apple can be the keyboard and touch pad such as the unnecessary part of the MacBook Air removed, even with a larger screen, is still likely to be the weight of new equipment under 2 pounds (0.9 kilograms) to 3 pounds. But with such a large screen, it is necessary to provide a strong enough coat, carrying the process to avoid damage to the screen.

As for the OS X applications can or whether it will support multi-touch, is still hard to say. Safari obviously very easy to implement, but they need to re-design of other applications will be able to support this feature. But, as we have seen iPad conference, Apple do not take too long, you can modify the iWork suite of applications. Third-party developers may also be obtained from Apple's excellent set of development tools, the application upgrade.

However, all the above is just tip of the iceberg, but Apple has not been confirmed, the final message has yet to be announced Apple's end.
