Apple Tablet Rumour Again...

Several sites are speculating on a possible announcement by apple of a new OS-X based tablet. Some are speculating that it will be a larger and more enhanced touch tech based iphone concept whereas others are talking up a more pc centric tablet with stylus. Whilst the latter would would most certainly be a welcome addition to the line especially for artists (actually Axiotron produce an OS-X based tablet called the Modbook), a larger iphone might struggle because the MID concept has yet to be accepted. Asus have let slip that Apple are working on a tablet and Intel have done the same with regards to Apple using the Atom processor. Who knows? Certainly not I, however if Apple do release a new form factor lets hope they pay attention to the execution of the design better than they did with either the iphone or the Macbook Air, which were good but problematic.

Rumours of Atom Based iPhone Unfounded

The race to find tech news is often with its perils. Yesterday several sites posted news about a possible new iphone which uses intels atom chip as its cpu. The story which has been refuted by intel themselves arose out of a purported statement reported by ZDNet in Germany, where German Intel General Manager Hannes Schwaderer said future iPhones would have the Intel Atom chip. Later posts indicate that Mr Schwaderer was only making general statements of future Atom powered MIDs. Sites like Engadget and ZDNet were quick to post corrections. Only Time will tell if this is true or not. Unfortunately this is one of the dangers of trying to be first at the post.
