I agree with everything that is said in this post. I’m excited about the Apple Tablet, but I need it to be a replacement for a laptop for me to justify the purchase. What features do you need in the Tablet to make it worth your hard-earned cash?
An awesome article highlighting the upcoming challenges to iPhone App developers (like myself) who will need to port their iPhone app to the yet-to-be-released Apple Tablet. The article focuses not only on screen resolutions, but also on current SDK limitations, accelerometer issues, touch/grasp issues, and others.
The Tablet, I say, is going to be Apple’s new answer to what you use for personal portable general computing. Put another way, let’s say instead of a MacBook and an iPhone, you’ve got an iMac and an iPhone, but you also want a portable secondary computer. Today, that portable from Apple (portable as opposed to the iPhone’s mobile) is a MacBook. With The Tablet, you’ll have the option of a device that will more closely resemble the iPhone than the iMac in terms of concept and the degree of technical abstraction.
