• There is a fairish opportunity that many people will get the correct answers . In the event that there are , all of those who made the cut will go into a drawing , from which we ’ll cull a winner at random .
Click here to complete the survey of features. The winner gets an Apple tablet.
Your name and email will only be used to contact you in shell you win the lozenge .
Here are my conjecture :
Name
I retrieve they will call it iBook , just because it ’s a good brand , a short name that sounds gravid , and tie in with the whole lozenge format .
OS
The pad of paper will run a variate of iPhone bone , with extra package classes to address its exceptional feature . basically , it will be like the iPhone OS — it should be able to run apps straight away ( although developers will tailor them to the new screen size , sell them in the app store as fatter apps that support both the iPhone OS and the Tablet OS ) .
Screen
The screen wo n’t be OLED , but I would like to conceive that — open Apple ’s push towards LED backlighting , with its muscularity savings and good image quality — they will use a 10.1 - inch LCD - LED video display .
Connectivity
The connectivity is a tricky one . Since I think the Apple Tablet is a complete new paradigm in computing , one get away from desktop metaphors , and is always connected — it make up sense that it substantiate 3G. But would Apple tie this thing to a mail carrier , like some rumors say ? And if they do , and it ’s AT&T , would I be able to have two SIMs under the same AT&T number ?
tv camera
Another tricky one . Some people say no webcam at all , other say no cameras at all , others say both . I want to trust that this matter will , at last , reenforcement videoconferencing .
Storage
The top simulation will have 64 GB .
cloth
I like the idea of the back being chrome , so I can touch up my make-up .
Keyboard
Another tricky one . I want to believe that Apple is including a stylus and that their handwriting technology — already present in Mac OS X , coming from Newton OS — is good enough . However , this will require multiple - language support , something that does n’t seem to be implemented right now . So I require handwriting , but I ’m leaning to a screen - based keyboard .
substance abuser user interface
The iPhone has been a Brobdingnagian striking because it ’s round-eyed . No complicated desktop metaphor , no confusing windows , just a modal machine that morphs into different devices . Normal people , regular consumers who detest normal computers — the majority — get it . It will be like the iPhone , modal verb , hopefully with belligerent multitasking , and a clever direction to navigate through running applications .
Extras
Another wild supposition . USB 3.0 livelihood would be prissy , or even Lightpeak , but I really want this affair to support a stylus .
Battery life
This could have 10 60 minutes of shelling lifespan . If its bowel are not much different than an iPhone , there will be a fate of empty space in there , enough to fit some surplus assault and battery cells .
Mary Leontyne Price
People are guesstimating a wild range . Mine : $ 600 , and they will still make money out of it . My gut feeling is that Steve Jobs and Co. believe this will be their biggest contribution to computing since the original Apple Macintosh . And they will want it to be cheap , so it can fan out quick , like wildfire .
independent use
Like the iPhone was a telephone , an iPod , a internet web browser and a mail machine , this gimmick will also have three or four main mathematical function ( apart from the thousands that it can take thanks to the applications programme ) . My risky guess is that movies will be a good one , as will internet , ebooks , and videochat / communication .
Main function
While many computer sports fan will see this equipment as a secondary equipment or a peripheral equipment , I think Apple will pose it as a full figurer . Like I said before , most people do n’t need a calculator . Most mass do n’t spend minute committal to writing e-mail or document outside of the office . Most citizenry do n’t spend hours doing spreadsheets or painting photos outdoors of work manner . Most people just browse , send out the episodic image , do some confabulation , access Facebook , tweet a minute , register , browse , watch movies , mind to music … that ’s why the iPhone has become such a driving force in the industriousness , with many regular consumer adopting it as their main computing machine . My guess is that this computer will be the main computer of most of the people who corrupt it . Not for the part , but their personal computer .
